Browns Round 6, No. 202: Kalia Davis, DT, Central Florida

I’ve been advocating for the Browns to pass on defensive tackle in the second-round, mostly because it’s time for previous draft picks to get some reps so the organization can find out if they can play.

Davis played five games in his final two college seasons. Of course, you’ll hear the “upside” word attached to his name.

Browns Round 7, No. 246: Ryan Van Demark, OT, UConn

It’s a big season season for the Browns offensive line with some questions that need to be answered. Can Jedrick Wills live up to his first-round billing? Is Nick Harris ready to be a full-time center? Can James Hudson take a step forward and hold down the right tackle spot until Jack Conklin gets healthy? Then, can Conklin stay healthy?

You should always dedicate resources into the offensive line and Van Demark will be a body for camp.
