Browns Draft Denzel Boston

    The Cleveland Browns second round pick in the NFL Draft satisfied both schools of thought in draft selections, as those who push for positional need and others who prefer the best player available were pleased with the selection of Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston.

I had Boston rated above the Browns' first-round choice, Texas A&M wide receiver K.C. Concepcion, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the Browns devote their high second-rounder to another pass catcher!

Boston, a 6'3, 212-pound receiver, is a different type of player than Concepcion, and their skills should complement each other.

Boston is a bigger target in the red zone, has the speed to get deep, is a skilled route runner, and, unlike Concepcion, doesn't come with a reputation for dropping passes.

Boston is noted for winning jump balls, fighting for the ball in traffic, and his physical play sees him bullying corners with the ball in his hand, running over them, and breaking tackles.

I thought Boston was the best of the second-level tier prospects at his position behind Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, and Makai Lemon, and thought he was a first-round talent.

Boston caught 62 passes for 881 yards and eleven touchdowns for the Washington Huskies last season, so he was a productive player who brings skills that the Browns don't currently have on the roster.

I love this pick and give Andrew Berry credit for not taking the easy way out and being satisfied with K.C. Concepcion as their positional upgrade!
