We traded 33 and 108 to get him.

He should be a real mismatch.

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen called TE David Njoku "the biggest, baddest dude we've faced all year." Not wrong I like the pick. Big, fast tight end. His comp on NFL.com is Greg Olsen, I'll take that.

The announcements are way behind the actual selections. They're leaking fast.
I'm hearing Watt to Pittsburgh too.

May actually be the best TE in the draft.

You bet. It's a good pick, all kinds of upside and it fills a need. Like our draft so far.

Peppers is the pick many don't like. . . . But I believe we got 3 impact guys today. Peppers impact will require good coaching and scheme but he flies around, tackles, hits and is a returner. I don't hate the pick and will reserve judgement. Based on an effective front 7 Peppers becomes much more viable imo

Three guys I viewed as impactful at their positions. At least they're taking dynamic athletes at each position.

I guess the FO said who cares about blocking when you have a poo-poo platter of Kessler, Brock, and Hogan to block for. Unless... hmmm.

I'm fine with this pick. Would have preferred using that 108 to go up to titans 18 who said they wanted to move down for Howard then taken Marcus williams at 33.

Good adjustments by the Browns. I believe they were going to take Mahomes at 12 but Reid jumped them. They got good players that will help the team.
They are loaded for next year. They could still get Dobbs or Peterman.

Well, I wasn't thrilled when we passed on Hooker, Allen and Howard at #12 ... but when you look at it like this: We still got a first-round worthy Safety and TE anyway, and a first rounder in 2018 ... then it takes the sting out of it a little bit.

Three players....2 that will make an immediate impact and one that hopefully will be the next Honey Badger. I hope we get Marcus Williams at 52.
Assuming we now package picks for next year's QB.

I like the pick as well. I also understand that we jumped all the teams in order to get him. I saw him to the Giants at 24. With Green Bay and Pittsburgh all potential locations it was a smart move.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!

It's not about who we wanted. It's about who we have. I say we won the first round. Go Browns.

there's no doubt he's got big potential. The dude might not be done growing ... let alone developing. He could very easily end up being our best player

j/c: It's tough to believe this kid can't legally by alcohol until July. Plus the huge upside factor? 
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
