Perkins was rated as a third round corner, but one report I read said he may be the best return man in the draft. Doesn't excite me, but I won't complain...
Fundamentals said:I also think you have to look at the draft class when looking at depth. This draft was weak on OL with a talent with no heart (Barron), a RT who has no lateral movement (Brown), and a center from Ole Miss going in the first round. Is it really worth taking a OL in the 5th round just to take one when in a normal draft he may not be selected at all. The D-Line depth was a little better in the draft, but not overwhelming either.
• Cleveland Browns: New general manager Phil Savage did it the Baltimore way -- he stayed patient and he made solid selections. By being patient, Savage didn't call the Dolphins, who were trying to fleece an extra pick out of them to trade up to No. 2 and take wide receiver Braylon Edwards of Michigan. He didn't rush the selection of quarterback Charlie Frye of Akron and ended up getting one of the steals of the draft in the third round. Brodney Pool was a low first-round talent drafted in the second round at free safety. Savage is changing seven starters on defense, but he knows he can't rush things. Edwards and Frye are the future. Pool will jump in as a starter. It's a great start.
