Anatomy of a Browns Draft pick (long version)
-
OK, with all the tools available to pick talent, how many of our rookies would have been kept by any other team? I've seen a flash here and there, plus inexperience but haven't really seen signs of improvement. Maybe I'm missing something but 0-11 without improvement in play pretty much says it all.

In the last 20-30 years, draft prep has come a looooooooooong way, as has the player evaluation process......
And with the Mel Kipers, PFF's, analytics and vast amounts of information available....it just leaves much less room for sleepers and surprises.....

Makes sense... and then there's the Combine...
Even if their evaluations vary widely, players get noticed today that slipped thru cracks previously.
