Another trade-down move for Chris Ballard. The Colts agreed to a deal that gave the Browns the No. 46 overall pick.
In exchange, Indianapolis will receive Cleveland’s No. 49 pick and a fifth-rounder (No. 144). The Browns are taking LSU cornerback Greedy Williams, whom many mock drafts had going in the first round.
After intercepting eight passes in two Tigers seasons, Williams exited Baton Rouge with an All-American honor. His tackling ability has come under fire in recent weeks, and it likely at least partially contributed to the 6-foot-1 defender’s fall into the middle of the second round.
Williams, who blazed to a 4.37-second 40-yard dash clocking at the Combine, joins Denzel Ward and T.J. Carrie as a key piece of the Browns’ secondary.
Absolute steal
For the Colts..
hopefully this ends up being a steal for the browns
Now on to the safety and linebacker positions.
Taylor Rapp still keeps falling and if the Browns could somehow manage to get him or Amani Hooker, I’d be thrilled.
As far as a linebacker goes, I think they need depth instead of an instant starter at this point. I really like Emeke Egbule from Houston in the 4th or 5th round; he’s still a little raw but I think he’s a great fit for the defense Wilks runs.
Seems to have nice height and great speed which will make for a nice CB duo with Ward!!!
I winder if the Browns will be wearing 2013 Throwback jerseys all season…
i wish. i hate the current jerseys lol
Well isn’t this the kid they drafted with the 2013 draft pick?
The legend has thus proclaimed and management should heed
Stick this kid in the weight room for extra upper body work.
You can never have enough DB’s in this league. I personally think he’s suited for some and nickel coverage his rookie year. He has great ball hawking skills but needs to be coached better. This was a real shocker that he slipped into the 2nd round.
Kudos to the GM for making theses moves. Can’t really say there have been any questionable moves by the Browns in the last two years, thus their rise to the top.
