Browns Draft: Balance Assets, Prioritize Weapons

0:00On April 22nd, Cleveland Brown's heading into the NFL Draft with two first-round picks and nine total selections sitting pretty at sixth overall. New head coach Todd Munkins dealing with a messy quarterback room featuring Deshan Watson, Shadour Sanders, and Dylan Gabriel, plus Miles Garrett, skipping voluntary minicamp. General manager Andrew Berry's got house money to build around this crew without blowing it. Earlier this week, talk heated up about trading up from that six-spot for some blue chip stud, but that's a trap. Berry's built his rep maximizing assets by trading back, grabbing more picks to fix depth holes at wide receiver and offensive tackle. Stay put or slide down if teams get desperate for a running back or defender. Don't dump everything on one player. Meanwhile, fans and analysts are buzzing about the Brown's thin receiver group, no real deep threat to stretch defenses. Munkins' offense needs speed and mismatches for those young or returning quarterbacks to shine. Skipping a high-end, wide-out like Carnell Tate or Jordan Tyson in the first two days, that it crippled a passing game right out the gate.

1:07According to recent minicamp vibes, Munkins raving about his current QBs, clicking smooth. No need to grab another arm like Alabama's Ty Simpson in. Browned one, that it just spark a media circus in an already crowded room, wasting premium picks on positions screaming for help elsewhere, like protection up. Front, Berry's at a boom or bust crossroads here, needing to stay disciplined, beef up the infrastructure without getting reckless. Prioritize weapons and walls over distractions, keep the youth and flexibility intact, and let Munkins cook this offense into contention.
