| Re: Browns AFC North Draft Grade
Pretty good grade from the guys at EndScore - a solid B. Seems like they were particuarly high on the first two picks, Wimbley and Jackson.
"Wimbley was a good pick as he can penetrate through the line and get into the backfield to either tackle for a loss or sack the quarterback. He’ll be learning his position from Willie McGinest, one of the better defenders of all time, so he a lot of things in place to succeed," the article says of Cleveland's #1 pick, "but I doubt he has the endurance to be on the field for every snap, which isn’t always a bad thing as he’ll get some blow before getting back on the field and be a little bit more rested."
As for Jackson, they mention that the knock on him is height: "he’s a little short, but so was Mike Singeltary and we all know how good of a career he had. Jackson can get after the ball and covers a lot space. Some ranked him as the best middle linebacker in the draft, and I can’t say I disagree. His toughness and feel for the game stand out."
Is this a fair and accurate assessment of Cleveland's 2006 draft picks?  |
