Welcome to Cleveland, Demetric Felton

[Ozone]

Day 3, infact late day 3, late 6th round pick. As it turns out, he was our 8th and last pick of the day.

He should have an immdiate impact on special teams and then see what else we got over the next couple of years. He will have a hard time getting on the field in year 1....Chubb and Hunt ahead as RB, Landry and OBJ and others at WR, and even as a gadget player Schwartz and his 4.2 speed will be hard to beat.

I said he has the talent of a day 2 back in fact I called the pick right before they picked him.
He is better than a late 6th pick up and yes the depth of the roster will make it all the better to have him available as needed in year one where he could be an easy plug in at any time. I see him as the 3rd back in the rotation right away. I don't see him getting a ton of reps in the slot without injuries but that happens all the time.
I think as raw as the burner Schwartz is it is possible we will see Felton more in year 1 if they use either in the slot though. I like Schwartz on the outside early on running 9 routes aka flying deep

To me, he is a gadget player we spent very little on honestly at the end of the day. Very few 6th round picks actually succeed in the pros, so taking a gamble on a complimentary player to our current offense is always worth doing on day three.

yep players who fall in the draft often have medical or off-field concerns, and this leads to concerns of the success not transferring but other than underperforming high expectations at his pro day where everyone expected better data based on better tape there is plenty of reason to believe in him being able to exceed expectations and get back the attention he was afforded in the scouring process overall despite it being unknown exactly what caused the bad showing. Playing out of your normal position and doing a decent job is the one sign to me he has the intangibles to stick in the NFL even if it turns out he has some nagging injury or something over the pre draft process timeline

I'll be happy if he is able to replace Peoples-Jones as the primary punt returner. I love Peoples-Jones as a WR, but as a punt returner, Browns can do better with a player that's less important in the offense.

"Afterburners" is funny. I'm more impressed with the separation Felton gets on his route out of the backfield, and the way he can turn it upfield without decelerating.

He isn't even pulling away from Washington State defenders. He made them miss, but speed wasn't the thing that got him a TD here. In fact, #4, who he stiff-arms, still builds speed back up and closes on Felton a second time.

How do they measure how hot his afterburners are? Fahrenheit, Celsius or Kelvin?

His afterburners are at least 4x hotter than Kelvin Benjamin's

 

[MGMT]

It really was an impressive route though and he seems to have nice awareness on the field. Watching that defensive back stumble all over himself while attempting to still pursue — but ultimately falling — was kind of hilarious to me.

And from the looks of it, 1 Kelvin = 4 Feltons

4.58 is fine. People are just so focused on 40-times at the Combine that we're programmed to think anything that isn't 4.4 is slow.

That article is terrible.

Neither video example they chose shows "blazing speed"

Those senior bowl GPS speeds must mean nobody ever got a lane to get up to full speed. I'd take them with a huge grain of salt considering no context was provided.

Now the article is getting scrutiny lol yeah its just a simple pointer that some people might not have noticed even if you the holy one of the browns forums did.
its just somebody pointing out exactly what you just said Feltons game speed at the senior bowl for whatever that is worth indicates he is fine and plenty quick and the pro day 40 time is possibly not accurate of his capability to jet.
I think 4.5 even is probably a fair compromise as a average and the twitch he displays is the factor that gives him the ability not the ludicrous Schwartz be with you speed or lack of it

I'm pretty sure his 40-time is accurate. If you tell me he has long speed similar to Dion Lewis, I buy that.

Long speed matters little. Give me quicks all day. I don't care that Derrick Henry can get up to a million miles an hour. I care that he requires a freeway in order to do so.

Agreed that his value comes from his quickness, and not his long speed.

I still wish I could take my page view back for clicking through to that article.

That's pretty cool then.

Looks like Berry got the guy with the best workout speed (Schwartz) and the best playing speed (Demetric)

I'll give him Bonus points because it sounds like both players of them have a decent catching radius.
