The Browns opened the draft by selecting LSU cornerback Greedy Williams in the second round and bookended that by drafting Tulane cornerback Donnie Lewis in the seventh round. Between those picks Joe Thomas Jersey , Dorsey added a pair of linebackers in BYU’s Sione Takitaki (third round) and Alabama’s Mack Wilson (fifth round), an dMiami safety Sheldrick Redwine. The only selections not on the defensive side of the ball were Oklahoma kicker Austin Seibert (fifth round) and Southeast Missouri State guard Drew Forces (sixth round).Now that the draft is in the books, let’s take a look at what the national football media has to say about the Browns newest draft class.Chad Reuter, NFL.com, Grade: A-Pro Football Focus Grade: AverageAndy Benoit, MMQB, Grade: C-Dan Kadar, SB Nation, Grade: C+Mark Maske Chris Hubbard Color Rush Jersey , Washington Post, Grade: B-While is can be fun to place a grade on what the team does over three days in April, the true grades won’t become clear until the action starts this fall, head coach Freddie Kitchens told clevelandbrowns.com:Now that you’ve seen what others have said about the Browns draft, it’s time to have your say: Johnny Manziel won’t start Sunday for the Memphis Express. Instead, Brandon Silvers will make his first career start in the Alliance of American Football, the third starting quarterback for the Express this season.Manziel, though, took the second-most reps behind Silvers this week.“I think he’s ready right now https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Seth-Devalve-Jersey , just because he knows so much of our offense right now,” co-offensive coordinator Bobby Blizzard said, via Dylan Rubino of The Alliance. “He’s building chemistry already with the weapons we have and the offensive line. He’s familiar with everything that we do. If he gets in the game, I will call a play that he’s familiar with.” Blizzard adopted some of Kevin Sumlin’s offense from Texas A&M when Manziel won the Heisman Trophy, so the quarterback didn’t have to learn to speak a second language. “I mentioned the type of offense I ran, shouted some of the terminology I use, and his eyes lit up,” Blizzard said. “He was calling out the plays before I even said anything. I looked at coach [Mike] Singletary and gave him a thumbs up. “[Manziel] probably knew 75-to-80 percent of the offense before he even took a snap at practice.” Manziel said his “firm foundation” of the offense will serve him well if called upon Sunday.
