Browns select Quinshon Judkins

    Using the second-round choice acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars on the first day of the NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns made a very popular choice with a fan base in need of one with the selection of Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins.

The six-foot, two-hundred-twenty-pound Judkins played only one season at Ohio State after transferring from Ole Miss, rushing for 1,060 yards and fourteen touchdowns for the national champions.

Judkins is a physical back who is unafraid of contact and runs hard between the tackles.

Judkins also caught twenty-two passes for the Buckeyes, so he's not a passing game liability.

Judkins may lack the breakaway speed of teammate TreVeyon Henderson (who was chosen two picks later by New England), but Judkins' power style matches better with the speedier Jerome Ford in the Browns backfield.

Cleveland needed a replacement for Nick Chubb, and in running style, there are some similarities to Chubb, so I'm a fan of this pick.

I was disappointed the Browns didn't take Marshall defensive end Mike Green, who wound up with Baltimore, with one of their second-round picks, but I have few complaints with Carson Schwesinger or Quinshon Judkins.
