LB Dedrick Young: rated as a priority free agent. But Young (6-1, 223) may have raised his profile Thursday after running under 4.5 seconds in the 40 with 27 bench press reps and a 37-inch vertical jump, according to Pauline. Young started 43 out of 50 games at Nebraska and finished with 273 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and 13 passes defensed.
David Blough, QB. Camp arm or possible third stringer?
Jamie Gillan 'Scottish Hammer' Punter: tweet video said he's booming 80 yarders? And popped four NFL footballs working out for the draft? lol, I'd say he has the leg anyway.
I wonder what would happen if he blew up a ball in a game and a flat chunk of shell flopped to the ground 15 feet away? Would there be some sort of do over or would it be a 15 foot punt?
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
As information becomes available including the rating of some of his measurables that have probably caused Willis to go undrafted. Obviously, something did cause his fall.
My angst about interior D Line is that it became a glaring deficiency throughout the season last year. The team put a bandaid on it with the likes of Carl Davis, Billy Price, and Deveroe Lawrence. It got only marginally better. I am concerned that one competent addition, namely Richarson, won't completely solve the problem. With all of the talk from the organization about creating competition throughout the roster, this is an area that has been conspicuously ignored. That has continued into this UDFA period. Dorsey must know something that I do not. When it becomes apparent what that is, I'll stop chirping about it. But not until then.

Good question. I have no idea but would like to know myself.

I think health played a factor last year. Coley got dinged up early and played through it at less than 100%. Hard for a 300 pounder's ankle to heal while playing on it. It also seems like they have a lot of faith in Chad Thomas.
I would have liked to see someone added, too. There could be reasons they didn't, though.

BD, I do vaguely remember Coley having an ankle injury. It must have been during TC that's why my memory of it is hazy. That could explain why he was not as effective last year as he was in '17. But it did expose our interior DL depth problem because we had to re-shuffle the whole unit and still didn't solve the run defense.
Considering where Dorsey has placed roster building attention maybe they feel the problem was more LB play than DL play. Maybe they think they can get more run support with Burnett in the box. Time will tell.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

We gotta get these guys! Sorry, got carried away LOL
Hope season starts soon. Pumped up!
This must be where spontaneous combustion comes from.
Unleash these Elves in The Land!
For the first time in a very long time we don't "have" to get these guys Or roster is pretty good. Sure we still have a hole or two and can always use more depth. But in general I am quite happy with the roster. Never thought I'd live to see a day when the roster wasn't a huge concern. A lot of these guys couldn't make our team now. Dorsey has done one hell of a job. And I have to give some credit to Sashi as well. He set the Brown up with a lot of picks and cap room, which made the job one Dorsey would consider... Now, we need to lock Dorsey up for a good LONG extension!!!
I love that we signed a kid named Odell Miller as a developmental OL. Heck, maybe we wind up with 2 Odells on the roster. How cool would that be?

Darrin Hall is kind of Chubb-lite. Sticks his foot in the ground and goes. Surprising speed and burst for a "big" back. You can see him pull away from Thornhill in the Virginia game. Pretty good at reading blocks at the line of scrimmage, but less good at setting them up in the open field. Not the biggest creator on his own, but give him a place to go and he'll blast through it. Can catch the ball cleanly, but not the most dynamic in the passing game. Needs to improve in pass pro, he's a little too passive. Not unwilling really, just lets the defender come to him rather than stepping up to meet him and can get overpowered when he probably shouldn't be. He has the size and strength and awareness (it appears so) to be good there.
Did benefit some from an OL that got a lot of movement at the point of attack. Unfortunately for him it was a bit of feast or famine. While they opened some nice holes, they also gave up a lot of penetration. While guys will bounce off him once he's going, he's not one to make people miss before he gets going.
Has a chance to be something. Also a (smaller) chance to look like Trent Richardson. He seems to have the right approach and attitude from what I can tell from interviews. The having lots of big holes to run through is what makes me worry about TRich, though I'm not sure if it's really very valid.

maybe Devalve's replacement ... we need one more TE
We will see but I don't think he will be "REPLACED" by a UDFA TE.
I would love to see Devalve as our H-back/FB
I would like to make a note. Blough is not just a camp arm. The kid I think will stick and be our 3rd QB. He's got that Phillip Rivers push throw. Very accurate and love his throws against his momentum as well as on the run all over has a good sense when to run and when to pass.
Good backup to Baker.
Brought in the scottish punter.
We got camp kickers and punters so that our starting kicking do not have tired legs.
Punting will be interesting considering we drafted a Kicker who can punt as well.
The rest if they can make the team on special teams great if not good camp kids
But one thing looks consistent...they are football players!
jmho Great job by our scouting department Dorsey really can handle personnel.
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off! Go Browns! CHRIST HAS RISEN! GM Strong! & Stay safe everyone!
