The Browns drafted Washington nose tackle Danny Shelton 12th overall and Florida State offensive lineman Cameron Erving 19th overall Thursday night in the first round of the NFL Draft.
General Manager Ray Farmer and coach Mike Pettine discussed the picks during a news conference. Below is a transcript provided by the team.
On the Browns liked about DL Danny Shelton over other players in the draft:
Farmer:“We liked the size. We liked the fact that as an interior run-stopper, he had girth, quickness, agility, strength to clog up the middle and be an impact player and press the pocket from the interior.
