De Zerbi: I don't want to put pressure on my players... but we have to win at Wolves
De Zerbi emphasizes importance of winning at Wolves for Spurs
The Cleveland Browns selected tackle Spencer Fano and wide receiver KC Concepcion in the first round of the NFL Draft. For Day 2, they are projected to pick cornerback D'Angelo Ponds and center Connor Lew.
The Cleveland Browns addressed their two biggest needs in the first round, selecting Utah tackle Spencer Fano and Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion with the ninth and 24th overall pick, respectively. They traded down from pick six to nine, and one of the picks they got was 74 in the third round, just four picks after their own third rounder at 70. Let's take a look at how day two could look with their three picks.
D'Angelo Ponds is an undersized corner who will likely play in the slot at the next level, but he doesn't play like a smaller corner. He has fantastic instincts and awareness, especially in zone coverage, and has the athleticism to mirror pass catchers. Ponds loves to get physical, and mixed with his athletic ability, you get a corner that is worth taking a chance on despite his size.
Connor Lew is coming off an October injury, but the team has Elgton Jenkins, who can also help mentor Lew and get him ready to be the future at the position. Lew might not have standout physical tools, but he’s a smart, technically sound player who handles all the details of the position really well. He moves efficiently and gets out of his stance quickly after the snap, showing good overall mobility and awareness.
Delp brings standout speed for a tight end and can really stretch the field, especially when defenses try to stick a linebacker on him. He’s also a strong blocker, giving you the flexibility to move him around the formation without tipping your intentions. As a route runner, he’s smooth and controlled, and he elevates well to attack the ball in the air. Pairing him with Harold Fannin Jr. in Cleveland would make for a seriously exciting combination.
