NFL Draft

[Mr. Orange]

I like the position but hate the school

0 sacks and 0 flags last year is insane

Who cares where he went to school. Means nothing now

Guard was definitely a long-term need.

Bitonio is turning 33 this year and Teller's contract hit for 2025 is so big that it seems incredibly unlikely he'll be back after this season.

Berry says Zinter's broken leg suffered in the Ohio State game won't impact his ability to play this season.

Brugler has Zinter outside his top-100 and his 10th best OG.

ESPN has Zinter as #122 overall..

PFF has him at #86..

NFL.com has him as their 3rd best guard.

Opinions seem to be varied but most concur that his injury could have hindered his draft grade a bit.. Browns don’t need an immediate starter here so may be more willing to be patient with his health and feel like he’s be a higher pick if healthy..

Don’t love the value at this point but guard was definitely a need..

Don’t know a ton about him. I remember him getting hurt in The Game but I agree. We need guard depth. I’ll take it.

Versatile interior lineman who’s a mauler in the run game. Two time All B1G and a unanimous AA.

Big frame / reach….incredibly smart (he was up for the Academic Heisman). He’s a high floor guy on the interior, that can just do his job.

He posted a video last week, where he was already doing drops and blocking drills. Seems like he’ll be 100% by camp.

Last few drafts I’ve loved the 2nd rounders and disagreed with the 3rd, seems to be continuing a trend here.

Zinter seems like a reach value wise, but I can see why we picked him due to positional need.

 

[FrontPageNews]

He’s nearly 6’6. I wonder if he can play tackle in an emergency situation if/when Conklin/jones/wills goes down again.

We’re quietly putting together a huge O-Line

Zinter with out the injury was probably an early 2nd guy. As long as the medicals check out he’s a great pick.

My dumbass amateur assessment is probably not. While he has a requisite frame, he wins inside with power, technique and anticipation but he’s not an elite athlete.

Maybe he could play in emergency situations but he’s started I think all but one game at guard in college. Seems like just a pure big guard having watched him.
