The squabbles on here are endless. At this point, I expect them and don't get too invested in any of them. With that being said, it seems that the definition of a "hidden gem" draft selection is nebulous. What I mean is it's arbitrary to say it has to be a late round pick or even a pick at all because player acquisition happens in a number of ways.
Martin Emerson qualifies in my opinion. Drafted in round 3 of 2022 he was not on my radar. He didn't seem to be on the radar of most media or Browns fans if we're being honest. He has outperformed his draft status to date.
JOK has outperformed his draft status as well. Berry recognized the value and aggressively moved up to get him when he was sliding.
Given Grant Delpits' medical history and questions about his ability to withstand injury he was a steal.
Alex Wright is on the verge of becoming a steal and he continues to develop on the arc he appears to be on this time next year we might say confidently that he was a steal.
Since the argument seems to be about the franchise as a whole and not just Berry the acquisition of Wyatt Teller who had a so-so career before coming to the Browns should also be considered a hidden gem.
Im hoping that we'll be talking about Jerry Jeudy as a hidden gem because a 5th and a 6th for that talent could be huge.
Continue the fight...come out swinging, lol
