Browns take defensive end with final pick
After picking a linebacker, tight end, nose tackle and wide receiver, the Browns took defensive end with what should be the final pick of the draft. The pick was Alex Hall, a defensive end from St. Augustine.
I'm not going to lie, I've never heard of Alex Hall or St. Augustine. His official profile calls the 6-foot-4, 250-pounder a "rangy and athletic defender." To me, that means he's an outside linebacker candidate.
Overall, this seems to be an average group of draft picks. The Browns didn't address cornerback or safety, arguably their two biggest needs. Fortunately there are undrafted free agents that can be brought in.

I think the Browns happen to like their secondary, although they are a bit green.
Any word on Gary Baxter's recovery? Seems like a candidate to move to FS given the speed he'll have lost.
