Martin Emerson selection one with a long-term view. TBD how he helps #Browns much immediately. But could eventually develop into No. 2/3 CB alongside Ward/Newsome. Also, brings complementary skill-set, as a long, physical press corner

David Bell was one of the two guys who helped elevate Purdue the most. Love him. Nice pick.

Andrew Berry on David Bell: some of the best hands in this draft class and very savvy as a route runner, very nuanced and polished.
— Zac Jackson (@AkronJackson) April 30, 2022
Worth remembering that new Browns WR David Bell said Greg Newsome II was the toughest cornerback he's ever faced at the NFL Combine...
