Since the Browns do not possess a first-round pick this year, their selection in the second stanza is critical.Expect one of the draft picks in all likelihood at some point to be spent on a DT for added depth and to work towards a starting position. The Browns have already traded DE Emmanuel Ogbah and realize that a good defense will use multiple defensive linemen continually throughout the game to keep fresh legs on the field. Gerald Willis could very well be that player and should be available in Round 2 with pick number 49.A former five-star recruit, he originally signed with Florida, but had issues with several coaches and teammates. As a freshman, he was involved in a fight over a pair of cleats with Gators’ QB Skyler Mornhinweg to which the signalcaller required stitches. He was also suspended twice for undisclosed reasons. In another incident in the game against rival Florida State, QB Jameis Winston of the Seminoles had scrambled and gained minimal yardage and then darted out-of-bounds into the Florida bench. As Winston decelerated he approached two Florida players standing on the sideline, one being Willis. Next, Willis hauls off and shoves and then punches Winston with both forearms right in the facemask. Willis was ejected and his team was assessed a 15-yard personal foul.Florida in due course released him fundamentally Ozzie Newsome Jersey , and then he transferred to the University of Miami. Willis’ playing growth was stalled in 2017 when he took the entire season off at Miami with allegations of character issues. But once he returned, he was a completely different player and possessed new leadership skills plus a good work ethic previously missed. Everyone associated with him - especially his Miami coaches - all rant about the change in his attitude and life in general. The result was a very productive 2018 season peppered with a relentless behavior. This player is a force and does not miss tackles.Specifics: College: MiamiHeight: 6’-4”Weight: 300 pounds 40-time: 4.95Career Tackles: 33 Career Tackles for Loss: 18 Career Sacks: 1.5 Career Forced Fumbles: 1Positives:First-step explosiveness & burstSwim move his forte’Big enough to push through weaker blockersNatural big-man strengthWill chase down plays from backsideQuick feet and excellent change of directionSure tacklerNasty playerAfter sitting out 2017 season exceptional player2018 Second-Team All-AmericanNegatives: Needs to stay lower for more leverageImprove hand usageWork on more flexibilityBetter balance controlOff-field issues include a transfer from Florida, one-game suspension for violation of team rules, partial MCL tear in 2016, took a leave of absence for the entire 2017 college season, dislocated finger 2018Expert Draft Site AnalysisCBSsports.com<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="FIzKo4">Do you think Willis’ off-field issues would prevent you from drafting him and adding him to the defensive line rotation?

And Cleveland’s last win in Pittsburgh came all the way back in 2003. But Cook is clearly underestimating this team and fails to realize these are not the “same old Browns” that the Steelers are used to seeing. It also ties in to comments that quarterback Baker Mayfield made to Complex Sports about the external hate that is building toward the Browns:The Browns have spent the past three seasons building something and the rest of the league is starting to worry that all that hard work is about to pay off. As Mayfield said, the hype surrounding the team is real. Now all they have to do is keep proving the doubters wrong.
