#2 pick TJ Ward - Why??
-
Think he was drafted way too high.
I agree it was a bit of a reach, but I think we took who was on our board as our fit before a possible run on safeties happened.
I think our guys believe he can be a steal for us. Here hoping !
GO Browns!

Respecting the knowledge & ability of our new FO, I checked out You Tubes on Ward. OMG!!..If he stays healthy, he'll be super! The guy hits like Jack Tatum...remember him?
Given the deeper coverage people we have now, this guy could fit llike a glove for close in run support & on receivers on crossing patterns. He hits like a ton of bricks!
He just may be our playmaker on defense...Certainly looks like he can intimidate!

This is a great pick. I've watched T.J. Ward through his career at my alma-mater, the U. of Oregon, and he was part of a D-backfield that was the strength of the defense. He will help the Browns. I never want to see Adrian Peterson running through the Browns D-backfield again like he did last year. No more matador tackles.

Chuck, I'm glad to hear from an alum. You're more qualified to give us insight. I would add that Ward gives us ATTITUDE. He gives us that "Ronnie Lott Woo Hit" attitude. He's a better pick than Taylor Mays because he has a better attitude and he's incredibly smart (an honor student if I'm not mistaken).

Exactly.
It was a must to draft a safety and we took the best available

My Son reminded me tonight that Belichek made the statement last year (referring to then Safety Patrick Chung) that he wasn't even the best Safety on his own team...Ward is the one he deemed as better.
I don't think Ward would have lasted much longer. The Patriots may have grabbed him. He may turn out to be a GREAT pick.

T. J. Ward, meet Hines Ward. You know, Hines Ward, the guy laying on the turf after you decked him after he caught a pass, and fumbled it away. @@

I have to agree with heckert on this pick our medical staff cleared the kid and he would have been a 1st rounder minus his medical history..and we really needed a guy that can lay down a hit ,tackle and or cover on the fly if he reads something and ward brings this big time...he is going to bring exactly what we need in a safety in certain circumstances..if ward stays healthy throughout training camp he will win the starting job hands down and quickly become a fan favorite, ward on ward lol what a matchup!

I love Ward and will say again, had the Browns taking Morgan Burnette instead of Hardesty we could have seen these two play side by side for a long time. Ward is the hitter and while Burnett can hit too, He is more interested in going for the ball.
Ward and Burnett could have put a lot of fear into NFL WR's.
