The Browns go way West for round 6- Melila Purcell

Well, leave it to the Browns to draft the first guy that no one has heard of this year. Finding news about 6th round DE Melila Purcell is a difficult task. Here's what I know. He played in a 3-4 system at Hawaii. He is somewhere around 6-5 and 275 pounds. Had a very prolific sophomore and senior campaign. This year he had 60 tackles 16 Tackles for a loss, and 9.5 sacks. Pretty solid numbers for a 3-4 D end. Phil Savage must have done his homework for this pick. Hopefully, he will add needed depth at D end, and he immediately knows the system. I personally would have preferred Darius Walker, RB Notre Dame because he is the best pass catching RB in the draft and Brady Quinn knows how to find him. Maybe in round 7. BTW, we were looking to draft kicker Mason Crosby (Phil Dawson must be in the doghouse), but he was scooped a few picks before us so we traded down in the 6th to pick up a 7th so we now have two 7th round picks.
