Alas, with the pick before Cleveland, the Philadelphia Eagles, the same team that drafted Trotter Sr, plucked him from the board, disappointing me almost as much as the second half of Game Four between the Cavaliers and Magic.
The Browns then decided to add to the wide receiver group with the choice of Jamari Thrash of Louisville.
Thrash played his first three seasons at Georgia State before transferring for his final season to Louisville.
It's always fair to wonder about how a player who has success at the Group of Five level will adjust to the Power Five level but Thrash performed well with the Cardinals.
Thrash caught sixty-three passes for over eight hundred yards and six touchdowns in his only season in Louisville and the six-foot Thrash has earned raves for his route-running ability.
The biggest question has been his size but I've seen conflicting reports on his speed and athleticism.
Some have mentioned Thrash as a big play threat that can do damage on deep passes and others have listed his speed and athletic ability as average and question if he can get open against NFL secondaries.
Thrash isn't going to be a likely upgrade being a fifth-round pick but few were paying attention last year for Puca Nacua in the fifth round last season and Nacua made a huge impact as a rookie, so it's not out of the question for Thrash.
Thrash will battle David Bell and Michael Woods for a spot on the roster and it'll be a tough fight to find a roster spot, but it isn't impossible.
