Welcome Danny Shelton & "Feast Mode"
-
Built like a fire hydrant. I like it. Looks like a great pick.
-
Shedding 15 lbs of gut would add speed to this stout guy and make the perfect NT. Ricci and his staff got their work cut out for them. Chisel this guy down a little and rebuild with pure muscle would turn him into an all-pro like Williams will be. He has that kind of talent.

IMO, there was a big drop-off from Danny Shelton to Malcolm Brown. Some people LOVED Brown enough to insist he wouldn't last until pick #19. That said, a lot of teams needing to address the interior of their dline didn't see him as a round 1 gotta-have to the extent he lasted until #32 overall.

Shelton needs to get with the conditioning coach... today. I worry about his athleticism a little bit. If he can get a little more burst off the snap and keep his weight around 330, he'll be great in a year or two. He can handle run-stuffing responsibilities this year, as a rookie, but if gets more athletic he can really get pressure on the QB up the middle, which would be very nice...
Overall, a good pick though...

That seems like great advice for 99% of DTs built like that (and Phil Taylor in particular).
However, Shelton is unique enough for some devil's advocates here:
1) Because he usually lines up closest to the snap; his first 2-3 steps are more important than speed. On film, he doesn't have much trouble closing on guys that have better speed than him. There's also some pretty impressive agility.
2) His book cover might show a need to trim body fat; but the story inside says he never comes off the field. The reason he doesn't come off the field is because he has surprisingly good endurance for a guy that size.
3) In a world that emphasizes Darwin's Laws, I can't tell you how many times I've seen this guy epitomizing why you never give up on a play to the extent he beats faster defenders than he to a scrambling QB outside of pocket or ballcarriers reversing field.
4) Trimming up a guy with his power can come at the expense of not overpowering the opponent on plays he doesn't come out of his stance with ideal pad height. I'm sure the the toll of him never coming off the field showcased a tendency for him to come out of stance with higher pad heights late in a game/drive. Cleveland likes to rotate fresh legs in and out especially if this year's injury volume up front is a lot more cooperative than 2014.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
Loved it. So happy he fell to us. Let's shock the world this year! Go Browns!

Keep him fat dumb and happy as long as he performs.

LOL! Diehard, it's as simple as "Sic em!"
It was still refreshing to learn Shelton was an Academic All American as we evolve/progress from counting on hollow domes like Josh Gordon around here.

Consistent with our current "Change the culture" & "Play like a Brown" philosophies.
I LOVE what's happening with the Browns.
I have Thomas & Haden Jerseys. I may just have to get a Shelton...That's how sure I am that this kid will be a stud for us.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
With his acquisition could the Browns end up doing more 4-3 than 3-4?
Taylor and Shelton in the middle. Starks and Bryant at DEs.....or put Mingo or Armonty Bryant there. Backups, Winn, Hughes, Kitchen.
But need a name....ala Fearsome Foursome.

Feast mode. For all of them.

Again, hung up on titles. This defense will show multiple fronts based on down, distance and opponent.

Shelton just HAD to be a Cleveland Brown !
Not just a big, dumb jock.......
