And man, Spencer, Cleveland's getting some talent in the building over these days.

And they stopped the slide here of a player that a lot of

people had in the top end of the second round. The Browns moving up for this selection.

Why do you think it was Cleveland that was the team to stop this slide?

I know for a fact they really liked Emmanuel McNeil Warren. He was in for a top 30 visit. They went and saw him out in Toledo, which isn't too far, obviously down the road here from Cleveland. You know, it's funny, like this second round started. And I had him and Denzel Boston as two guys that I thought were worthy of going early on in this second round, that I thought maybe even

teams would be champing at the bit to maybe get up and draft themselves, maybe trade up to get.

And it's funny how the board falls sometimes. Boston slides to the Browns at 39. They snag

him. Emmanuel McNeill Warren, while the Browns weren't on the

clock, fell enough that they decided, hey, let's get up and make sure we get this guy. I think both these moves make a lot of sense. I think the value is obviously there. Emmanuel McNeil Warren, by some, was considered a top 20 to 25 prospect in this draft. A lot of people I know early on in the pre-drive process, thought he could go in the first round.

And then I think of late, it had kind of been, there had been more smoke around the idea that he would be a second rounder. And as it turns out, he slides far enough that the Browns were able to come up and get him. I thought for this to be their first defensive pick, I thought it was a solid move by Cleveland,

addressing a position that I think they certainly needed some depth and could use some

additional talent at.

Was there any way possible you thought this is how the first couple rounds would have gone

for Cleveland where you get a really good offensive line and you add a couple of really

awesome wide receivers that bring different things?

And then you get a really solid defensive player as well.
