With the 50th pick, the Browns chose WR Mohamed Massaquoi, Georgia.
A little background on MM:
2005-'07: Massaquoi starts 23 of the 38 games he appears in catching a total of 100 passes for a total of 1,362 yards and four touchdowns. He also carries the ball twice for a total of 25 yards. 2008: Massaquoi starts all 13 games catching 58 passes for a total of 920 yards and eight touchdowns. He earns All-SEC first-team honors.
Simplified scouting report:
- 6'1 1/2", 210lbs.
- Durable
- Good height and bulk
- Great character, hard worker
- Competitive and tough
- May have trouble separating in the NFL because of lack of quickness/speed
- Drops too many he should catch, occasionally makes a great play on the ball
Its not like I don't like Massaquoi, I just don't know if I like the selection in the context of the recent pick of fellow WR Brian Robiskie. The previous pick, combined with our lack of any defensive picks so far leaves me a little underwhelmed. This means we can't get both my personal favorite (RB Rashad Jennings) and a defender on day 1.
