Vorstellung » The Browns didn’t have a first-round pick

Greg Joseph Jersey , having traded it to the Giants as part of the Odell Beckham trade. They tried, though, to get in on the action Thursday night.Browns General Manager John Dorsey said he had three players he coveted.“There were about three guys we were looking at we thought may help us, you know to get up to the position where they were acquired at that time, I thought the compensation was too rich to move that far,’’ Dorsey said Jabrill Peppers Color Rush Jersey , via Mary Kay Cabot of the . “We’re in a position now, you know maybe you exercise a degree of patience in this and just see and we’ll start working tomorrow and we’re always going to work at this thing to see if we can get up there, but the compensation package was just too much for us as an organization.”Dorsey declined to name the three players, but one is believed to be Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons based on Dorsey’s effusive pre-draft praise of Simmons, according to Cabot.In the end, the Browns had an uneventful night.“I’m very happy to have Odell Beckham as the 17th pick in the 2019 draft E.J. Gaines Color Rush Jersey ,’’ Dorsey said.The Browns have the 49th overall pick, the first of eight choices in the 2019 draft. If he was being judged on his work on the field for Mississippi State alone, defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ranked among the top prospects in this year’s draft class.Two issues complicate Simmons’ ultimate landing spot in the draft, however. He tore his ACL during a February workout and he pled no contest to a simple assault charge for hitting a woman during an incident in his senior year of high school.Both of those issues were likely up for discussion when Simmons visited with the Browns on Wednesday. General Manager John Dorsey said last week that the team would also do other work to get a full picture of Simmons.“I think from your standpoint, what you should do is you should talk to the coaches and the support system at Starkville, Mississippi State https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Damarious-Randall-Jersey , and just see what kind of man that guy really is,” Dorsey said, via Ohio.com.The Browns don’t have a first-round pick as a result of the Odell Beckham trade, but it’s unclear if Simmons will linger on the board until the 49th overall selection. If he does wind up in Cleveland one way or another, the presence of Sheldon Richardson should make it easier to wait for Simmons to return to full health.
