The new name to watch as a contender for the Browns’ first draft choice is Penn State defensive lineman Jared Odrick, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
“He’s a guy who’s gained significant traction on NFL draft boards and the Browns are right on him,” said a league source.
The Browns have worked out Odrick privately, who is considered a perfect end in the Browns’ 3-4 defense and also plan to bring him to Berea before the draft.
“You’re talking a defensive lineman that does not have any fat on him,” said the source. “He’s all muscle. He’s a tailor-made Patriots type of player. Richard Seymour-type. He’s perfect for what the Browns do on their defensive line.”
