Browns Select Mike Woods

   The Cleveland Browns were expected to take two wide receivers in the 2022 draft and they took their second one in the sixth round when the team drafted Mike Woods from Oklahoma.

Woods spent last season in Norman after playing his first three seasons with the Arkansas Razorbacks and caught thirty-five passes for 400 yards with two of those catches for touchdowns.

Woods wasn't rated very highly by most scouts but what was consistently mentioned was his excellent hands and ability to catch the deep pass despite a lack of elite-level speed.

Woods was rated by most draft ratings as being a priority free agent than being drafted, so as a sixth-round pick this does appear to be a mild overdraft.

However, it wasn't as if there was a receiver that stood out that the Browns chose over Woods, and considering the team's needs on the depth chart at wide receiver, I can understand why the Browns picked Woods.

Woods may have difficulty making the regular roster against what is expected to be an eventual veteran signee and may wind up on the practice squad for 2022...
