Local Guys in Draft

Out of the Brown's column, he notes that Ignatius/Indiana safety Joe Gonzalez will be among the local athletes attending the Browns upcoming open tryout. I don't know much about Gonzalez's college performance, but I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow lands on an NFL roster or practice squad. On Kiper's big board he's probably not quite in "draftable" territory, but he'll likely get some interest as an undrafted FA.

OG Jacob Bell (Ignatius/Miami OH) is likely to be the highest guy drafted, somewhere around the 3rd round. I'm not sure that he's someone the Browns would be looking for, but he also is attending the open tryout so the team should certainly get some exposure to him.

Shaker grad Adrian Clarke seems to be more what the Browns are looking for -- a massive sort of run blocker. In the 4th or 5th round he might be a good choice. With Garmon penciled to start and lots of competition for the other starting guard spot, there should be ample opportunity for 1-2 young guys to develop into solid backups and, hopefully, starters in a year or two.
