Quote:I don't think Hue Jackson takes a QB at all in RD1 or RD2. I think he's comfortable with Cody Kessler. Cody didn't have that bad of a season for a rookie. In fact, he was pretty damn efficient in the nine games he played in. He completed 65.6% of his passes. He had 6 TD's compared to 2 INT's thrown as well. They invested a 3RD RD pick in him last year. I think they see him as their future for the time being.


As far as the direction they'll take with their draft choices? It's pretty obvious they'll be focusing on the offensive line and defensive line. They surrendered 66 sacks last season. That's 4 sacks allowed per game. The fact that they were only blown out 7 times this past season despite a revolving door at the QB position due to injuries is remarkable in it's own right.


On the defensive side they only mustered 26 sacks on the season last year with the leading pass rusher having just 6 in Ogbah off the edge. If I had to guess which direction Cleveland goes in or who they are eyeing it would go as follows through the first four rounds:


RD1 / P1: Myles Garret - DE

RD1 / P12: Reuben Foster - LB

RD2 / P33: Demarcus Walker - DE

RD2 / P52: Dion Dawkins - G / T

RD3 / P65: Jon Toth - C

RD4 / P97: Jordan Morgan - G

I think they like christian kirksey too much inside to take foster. Foster is definitely much better but kirksey is a solid player and i think for value purposes theyre better served going elsewhere at 12. The only issue with those picks is the browns basically need a whole new secondary. Id bet at least two of their first four picks go to the secondary.
