Draft Day One in review

1st RoundThe trades - I really didn't think the Browns would find a trade suitor to get out of the top five. The Jets proved me wrong. The Browns made the right move, as they weren't in love with anyone at #5 and managed to pick up a second-round pick and two promising defensive starters to boot. I personally liked the idea of drafting Jeremy Maclin at #19 but can't complain about how things shook out.Alex Mack, C, Cal - The more I think about it, the more I really like this pick. It can't be called a reach given the rumors that the Vikings were interested in him at #22 and the Bills took a center at #28. The Browns made a very safe pick - Mack is top of the line when it comes to character- and solidified another important position for a long time. And for all we know, Mack could start at right guard next season too.Mack's biggest flaw seems to be his lateral movement, which seems to affect him more in pass protection than in run blocking - thus the latter being his strength as supported by the rushing numbers posted at Cal in his tenure. His strength is impeccable - he holds Cal's all-time power clean record - and has a near flawless body of work. I've loved Mack for a while and am surprised he didn't go even higher.2nd RoundBrian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State - The second round is where I think the Browns goofed, starting with this pick. I like Robiskie, feel he'll be a productive pro and a nice fit on the Browns in a Joe Jurevicius-type role. However, he was the wrong pick here. He struggled to get open his entire collegiate career and that task will be no easier in the NFL. He should've been taken towards the end of the second round.What the Browns should have done is select Florida State defensive end Everette Brown here. Brown was at one point considered a possible top 10 pick and heading into the draft a sure-fire first-round selection. He's a great speed rush end that projects well as a 3-4 outside linebacker - something the Browns could really, really use on the left side to complement Kamerion Wimbley. Cleveland has the appropriate 3-4 trench crew in place, so solidifying a pass rush theoretically maximizes the unit's potential and could translate this talented defense into one really good unit. Brown has the moves and fell into our laps - why did we pass? Mohammad Massoquoi, WR, Georgia - I can't say I like this pick one bit. Aside from his size, what honestly does Massoquoi have going for him outside of a pretty sweet name? He's no burner and was known at Georgia for something a little too familiar to Browns fans - catching occasional cases of the dropsies. I really see nothing that sets him above fifth-round potential, making this a bad pick even had we not drafted Robiskie earlier in the round.David Veikune, DE, Hawaii - Veikune has some upside, I'll grant that. He's played well at each field of competition he's grazed (Fresno City, Buffalo, Hawaii) and seems to have good character like the rest of these picks. At the same time, I have to worry about his level of competition and whether it was really worth it to pick what seems like a pass rush project at this point in the draft.Given his attributes (strength, technique), I'm not upset with the pick but had Everette Brown been taken earlier as he should have, this pick wouldn't have been needed at all and instead the Browns could've selected LeSean McCoy to groom at running back. Thus, the trickle-down effect plays its part.Check back later for Nate's review of Draft Day Two for the Browns.
