Rounds 4-7 ** 2017 Browns Board Mock Draft ** Rounds 4-7

[The Gipper]

So, with pick #189, the run on skill players begins. The Rams need another play maker. So with pick #189 the Rams select:

Donnel Pumphrey RB San Diego St.

He would be a "change of pace" back that the Rams can utilize from starter Gurley man. He may also be able to play in the slot.

Pumphrey and Ron Dayne are now the top two rushers in FBS history, even though San Diego State's small and quick runner (listed at 5-foot-9, 180 pounds) couldn't be any different in style than the brutish former Heisman Trophy winner. Pumphrey beat the record in his final game, finishing off an All-American season where he led with nation with 2,133 rushing yards on 349 carries (tied for most in FBS) and 17 scores (along with 27-231 receiving). He won the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year this fall, repeating the honor he was given in 2015 for covering 1,653 yards and scoring 17 touchdowns on 309 carries. He also led the Aztecs with 28 receptions, accumulating 416 yards and three scores. Pumphrey set a school record with 1,867 yards while scoring 20 times as a sophomore, earning the first of three first-team All-Mountain West accolades. As a freshman, he only started one game but still had 256 totes for 1,244 yards and 15 touchdowns (with 22-234, two TD receiving).

ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Produced at high levels. Patient but decisive when he sees it. Accesses instant turbo burst. Rarely loses races to and around the edge. Plus vision creates ability to navigate shifting run creases like a seasoned veteran. Slaloms through traffic from side to side with seamless, tight jump cuts. Keeps tight track through the gaps, maintaining distance from defensive linemen. Able to string moves together. Razor-sharp cutbacks at challenging angles are his thing. Made a rare 90-degree cut out of a downhill run against South Alabama. Excels in outside zone but has courage to stick it between tackles. Extremely elusive in open field after catch. Used as matchup weapon out of backfield. Good route runner who creates necessary separation.

WEAKNESSES Undersized. Lacks the leg thickness and overall physical strength desired out of an NFL running back. Spirit is willing but flesh is weak. Arm tackles are able to end his journey. Willing to accelerate into defender, but doesn't have the pop to break tackles or fall forward after contact. Quicker than fast. Will get caught from behind. Body catcher with average hands that lead to double catches. Too small to protect against NFL blitzers as third-down back.

SOURCES TELL US "I don't care how big he is, he's a good player. Look, he's tiny so you can't take him too early because there's risk in putting a skinny runner out there. You have to have an offense that makes sense for him but everyone I talk to on the road likes the talent. The size is going to be the only concern." -- AFC West scout

NFL COMPARISON Tyler Ervin

BOTTOM LINE

Pumphrey is an efficient, natural back who runs with outstanding tempo and vision. Has outstanding agility and ability to disappear and leave tacklers grasping at air in open field. While he has good burst and quickness, he does lack the home-run speed expected from such small running backs. He won't even be an option for teams married to physical minimums, but there is a place on the roster for his talent provided he can become a return man or viable receiving option as well.

[Unsympathetic]

Redskins select DT Jarron Jones, Notre Dame

He was inconsistent this past year, but he's still a round 2-3 talent.. Skins are happy he fell

[TexasAg1969]

Baby Shanny for San Fran takes a very underrated CB from The U , Corn Elder. I think he's a 5th rounder, maybe even late 4th, not a 6th. .Earned first-team All-ACC recognition from ACC coaches.

PM going out to Mud.

[Mudfly]

Good timing.....I can make my pick....

Denver Broncos select big, slow, lumbering........ James Conner - RB - Spitt

Good choice-he was my other one for SF. Flip of the coin.

I have Mud's proxy for his next pick after darren. PM going to darren.

[darren15]

Tampa Bay Buccs select ....

Lorenzo Jerome, S, St. Francis
Height: 5-10. Weight: 202. Arm: 30.5. Hand: 8.63.
40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2017): 3-5.
3/25/17: Jerome is an intriguing player who has created a buzz in scouting circles. He was a productive player with a tremendous display of ball skills in college. Jerome had interception totals of six, three, three and six over the past four seasons with pass breakup totals of five, seven, 13 and four. He also had 59 tackles as a senior.

Jerome impressed at the East-West Shrine and in the Senior Bowl. He could be a find in the mid-rounds

Gives Tampa both a free and strong safety in this draft .....positions that needed addressing
