Cleveland Browns Round 7

Grade A–Pick 223: James Houston, Edge, Jackson State

Hard not to like this pick this late in the draft. Houston had a tremendous post-season, playing the college all-star game circuit. Played for Deion Sanders, who was more than happy to compare him to current Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons.

Grade C–Pick 246: Lucas Krull, TE, Pittsburgh

Probably an underrated college player, but more of a blocking tight end, which is fine playing behind David Njoku and Harrison Bryant.

Can be sneaky good at finding the soft spots in coverage, but may drop some easy ones.
