Andrew Berry’s best draft picks since taking over the Cleveland Browns
By Chad Porto
The Cleveland Browns have had some decent picks with Andrew Berry at the helm.
The Cleveland Browns are gearing up for the 2023 NFL Draft and the usual hope of execution is no longer buzzing about the Browns fanbase. The hope that fans have sold themselves on that Andrew Berry, the Ivy Leaguer, could be the one to finally hit in the draft has been dashed. Berry has proven to be no genius when starts picking names.
He has a type of player he thinks works best, and that methodology has not always worked, but it hasn’t always failed either. While he may prioritize age above impact, he has found some guys who can make a case for being a good draft pick.
He’s found some players worth talking about, no one can deny that, but usually, they’re at the top of the draft. He hasn’t found many guys after the second round who have produced and that’s a problem. This is made worse by the fact the Browns are without many first and second-round picks over the next few years. As those are usually where you find starters, the next few years will be hard to judge Berry on.
That said, while other Browns’ GMs have done better, many have done far worse. Through three years’ worth of picks, it’s fair to say that Berry has found some useful additions to the team. Most of them have missed, but the ones who haven’t are worth talking about, but before we do, let’s talk about some fringe players who have done alright for the team.
