sounds like a fast CB, like 4.33 40. 3 year starter. not a RB or Safety type. hmm.

4.34 speed at his Pro Day, 3-year all-Mountain West Conference cornerback. Brice McCain, meet the practice squad.

I think Coye Francies, a CB who stood out at the Senior Bowl and went three picks later to the Browns, will be a better player, but I can see a team not taking a risk on someone who was arrested on firearms charges.

Ok, I am now guessing MLB for next pick, just because I have no clue
Darry Beckwith - ILB LSU - HT: 6-0.5 WT: 232
Dannell Ellerbe - ILB Georgia - HT: 6-1 WT: 236
Appleby, Antonio ILB 6'4" 243 Virginia
Joseph, Frantz LB 6'1" 242 Florida Atlantic

The Browns just got a guy, who I thought if he had came out last year would have been a 1st rounder, here in the 6th round. I wonder if James Davis would have been better off coming out last year. On the other hand, he may have been another one of those guys that draftniks love, only to meet cold reality on draft day. If Davis learns to block, he should help the offense, because he can run the ball.

Overview
Three-year starter played in 49 games, starting 39 … won all-MWC recognition as a defensive back (2007-08) and kick returner (2006) … 103 career tackles … 21 career pass breakups is tied for sixth all-time at Utah … 37 kick returns ranks ninth at Utah while 846 kick return yards is 11th … fastest player on the team was clocked in a 4.28-second 40.

2008 Season
First team all-MWC pick started all 13 games at cornerback … 35 tackles, five pass breakups and an interception … season-high six tackles with a pass breakup vs. BYU … four tackles against Michigan and Oregon State … a sack and a pass breakup vs. New Mexico … one kick return for 23 yards against Michigan.

I suppose we have some Mountain West Conference DB scouts. Could we be looking for another KR to make Jacoby Jones expendable? 4.33 is nothing to sneeze at.

Man, talk about having the rug pulled out from under you numerous times... I feel like I've waisted the last 3hrs of my time.

Hmmm...where iss our RB. All this talk about getting a RB someone to push the pile, to improve our red zone and split carries with Slaton. I don't think it was a smoke screen. Yet we passed on Rashad Jennings in the sixth, an excellent value.

Whats up with Jennings anyway, teams are avoiding him like the plague. Crazy. I know he has some ball security issues, but other backs had ball security issues and they got picked.
