Newsletter: Best Trait Each Rookie Brings to the Browns in 2025
Following the Rookie Scouting Film Rooms, let's discuss what matters most for the rookies.
The process of deep film evaluation is winding down as I have now posted six of the Browns seven Draft Pick Profile and Scouting Reports. These are a labor of love as I really do enjoy walking you all through the process. I enjoy sharing what I think the Browns fell in love with about the prospect and then how their skills, both good and bad, translate into the NFL and the Browns structure. I am less a fan of the pre-draft process and more a fan of the post-draft analysis. Shocker, I know.
Today we stay in that lane as I can take the hours upon hours I have poured into watching these prospects and deliver for you the small, bite-size pieces of information that matter most. I don’t pretend to think all of you watch those film rooms in their entirety, but perhaps you do and this will be a touch redundant. Alas. However, I didn’t really describe my favorite part of the player profiles as I shoot for showing you the whole picture.
Think of this Newsletter today as informing you on the single tool I think each of these rookies can use to make an impact early with the organization, and if the total package follows in development around this tool, they can be second contract players in Cleveland. Obviously we will do the inverse over the weekend and highlight the tool I am most concerned about.
But today is Friday so we spend our time focusing on the good ahead of a beautiful weekend. Let’s ride.
Mason Graham: Run Defense Tools
When you have a prospect selected inside the top-five, the traits to pick from are deeper than those in the ensuing rounds. Graham brings so much to the table and I am quite excited to see him in a defensive line structure that encourages upfield momentum at all costs. He excels in getting upfield with a variety of ways to do it.
