Browns add 7th round pick
-
On the Draft Value Chart, our 7th round pick #127 is worth 1.4 points. And pick 243 is worth 1 point. The #1 overall is 3000 points. In order to move to the top of the 6th round we'd have to trade about 20 seventh round picks.
I guess we could say that the math doesn't work at the quantum level.

Sorry if I’m parroting something that was previously posted, but the only thing that causes me any reservation about trading Watson lV to the Titans is it makes me wonder what Bill Callahan sees in him. Nobody recognizes OL talent any better.

I agree, as I said here:
"In a way I like 7th rounders. I see it as a way to get a jump on the undrafted guys....if that makes any sense."
All teams like several players on who they don't necessarily think they need to use a draft pick. Adding a pick or two in the 7th and picking them in the 7th guarantees you get at least 1-2 of them.
Most of those players are viewed as special team candidates, at least for the early portion of their career and or smaller school players who show promise but didn't play against top competition.
For example, NE drafted Kent State QB Julian Edelman in round 7 who began returning punts/kickoffs before he emerged as a Pro Bowl WR. Prior to that, Cleveland signed another former Kent State QB Josh Cribbs as an undrafted free agent who excelled as a Kickoff/Punt Return Specialist. He also played WR and some QB in the WildDawg. He made 3 Pro Bowls and earned a 1st Team All Pro honor. He was also recognized as a member of The NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s.
I wouldn't mind an equivalent find this year...

Exactly, Purdy could be another. They don't even need to be that good. There are dozens of UDFA who ended up solid players. Once they get there, the Browns have to "bid" to get them, and the player needs to make a choice between several offers. Lot's of factors go in to that decision. Money, opportunity, and location being the main factors, and not necessarily in that order.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Wasn't Antonio Gates another free agent out of Kent State?

A home grown WR, w/5th browns team meeting, might fall under using a 7th round pick.
Tipton was invited to participate at Toledo University's Pro Day, where he raised the eyebrows of dozens of scouts. Tipton was able to participate in front of nearly 60 NFL scouts thanks to Toledo cornerback and projected first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell, who drew an enormous crowd to get one final look at him before the draft.
Yale wide receiver Mason Tipton had some interest from a handful of NFL teams throughout the pre-draft process. However, following his 4.32 40-yard dash time at his Pro Day, Tipton seemingly forced about 20 more teams to take a look. Tipton is no stranger to the spotlight. He grew up in Akron, Ohio, where he attended Archbishop Hoban High School.

Yes; and he never even played football there. James Harrison was also an undrafted free agent from Kent State. That said, Harrison got cut numerous times before he found the right blend of secret potions.

Could you imagine if we drafted 2 kids from Yale in the same draft?

Yes, and London Fletcher from John Carrol was also a free agent.

It just goes to show that it doesn't matter how or where you made it in to a pro training camp. All that matters is what you do once you are there.
No doubt highly drafted guys are going to make the team pretty much no matter what, but being undrafted doesn't mean you are a sure cut. The bottom of the roster is always subject to change. Building the bottom of the roster is just as important as building the top.
