With most draft boards largely established, we’ve officially entered the silly season for NFL draft rumors. So keep this one in perspective.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer cites a league source that the Browns are “right on” Penn State defensive lineman Jared Odrick as a potential pick at No. 7 overall. The intelligent, versatile lineman was originally pegged as a late first-round pick at best by the draftniks, but that always seemed too low.
Odrick is a tailor-made 3-4 defensive end known for his great work ethic. Guys like that don’t fall far, even if they aren’t flashy. Just ask Tyson Jackson.
Then again, this news may just be floated to counteract the growing Eric Berry chatter in Cleveland.
