Feeney made an immediate impact at Indiana, starting 12 games as a true freshman and earning honorable mention All-Big Ten status. A foot injury robbed him of his 2013 season, but he put any health concerns in his rear view by playing better than ever upon his return.

He’s a durable and mean blocker who grades out well in both pass and run blocking. He has solid lateral quickness that keeps blitzers from shooting the gaps on him, but his strong upper body and use of leverage are his biggest selling points. He has good arm length and redirects rushers well; in the last three seasons, he allowed only two sacks while playing guard.

He’s useful in the run game despite just average speed. He identifies his targets after pulling and isolates them, taking linebackers out of the play at the second level. With great strength and discipline, he’ll be a locker room favorite for the coaching staff.

And the Browns weren’t done. A trade with the Tennessee Titans let Tennessee move up to No. 8, giving Cleveland two more picks.

We’ve seen more of the new approach this offseason, when the Browns pulled off an NBA-style trade with the Houston Texans to acquire quarterback Brock Osweiler and his $16 million cap hit. The Browns got a 2018 second-round pick for their troubles. Now Cleveland has 22 picks over the next two years to add talent.

The Browns need a total rebuild, and for a team that hasn’t Cheap Jerseys Sell had a winning season since 2007, getting talent through the draft is the only way to climb out of that hole and build something sustainable. DePodesta said that having as many picks as possible can only help their cause.

“How are we going to increase our chances? We need to have more picks. So, if we have Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Online the same number of picks every year as everyone else, we don’t expect do better than anyone else,” DePodesta said, via The MMQB.

Engram wins as a pass-catcher and can be utilized as a chess piece to create mismatches all over the field. His explosiveness off the snap, along with his short-area quickness and route running, will Cheap Jerseys Outlets make him a nightmare for NFL defensive coordinators.

Don’t be surprised if Engram, a more polished receiver than David Njoku and more route savvy than O.J. Howard, has the most productive rookie year as a tight end. Engram projects as a second-round pick for a team looking for an H-back/slot receiver who can move the chains and be a vacuum for the ball.

It’s even more concerning when Cleveland goes out and lets Indiana — the 15th best offense — drop 108 points in a loss. One makeable C.J. Miles jumper, and the Cavaliers would have been playing from behind. All season, even more than the past two, Cleveland has done things that makes us frown and tweet out thinking face emojis. “Hmm,” we said, “are they really going to snap out of this?”

Yes — Cleveland can snap out of this. Everything we just said, and every discernible flaw that exhibited itself this season, and it may still be fine. The Cavaliers still have the same personnel, more or less, as last year. There’s no concrete reason for something they accomplished last year to fall outside of their grasp in this one.

But we thought the effort and the defense would be here by now. We thought it was coming in March, or in April, or if nothing else, by the playoffs. Well, break out the strobe lights and emergency beacons. Bring out a megaphone. Someone tell Cleveland the postseason is here, because they let Indiana drop 108 points on Cheap Jerseys Paypal Free Shipping them and come a C.J. Miles jump shot away from stealing Game 1. That defense still isn’t there yet.
