Browns Select Perrion Winfrey

   The Cleveland Browns used the fourth-round pick that they obtained from Houston which was the third in the round to select a player that I would be thrilled to land with any of the three third-round choices that the Browns used on Friday night.

In Oklahoma defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, the Browns not only landed a potential starter that has a motor that runs on every play but a personality that could make him very popular with the fan base.

At 6'3 and 290 pounds, Winfrey is fast, super-aggressive, and as noted plays through every whistle to the point of sometimes running himself past the play.

Dan Shonka of Ourlads stated that "Winfrey sometimes is too fast for his own good" and that if Winfrey is able to get stronger and develop some other pass-rushing moves Winfrey could be a disruptive force up the middle.

Shonka had Winfrey ranked higher than Houston's Logan Hall, who many connected with the Browns and was taken by Tampa Bay with the first pick of the second round.

Winfrey finished last season with 5.5 sacks with the Sooners and while he isn't a liability against the run, Winfrey will need some work to develop into an every-down interior lineman but has the potential to be a standout.

And then there was the explosive interview with the Cleveland media that is going to endear him to Browns fans as this guy is charismatic and excited to be a Cleveland Brown.

I love this pick and for pure value, this was the Browns best pick of the draft.

Winfrey was the first Oklahoma Sooner taken by Cleveland on day three of the draft but he was not the last as two more Sooners will be starting their career with the Browns and I'll be working on those posts tonight and tomorrow.
