2012 NFL Draft Results: Cal OT Mitchell Schwartz Selected By Browns With 37th Pick
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
Here’s what Mocking The Draft had to say about Schwartz before the draft.
Strengths: Displays good power to neutralize stronger defensive ends and is quick enough to move to the outside against speed guys. Seems to have a great understanding of the game and knows how to pick up blitzes.
Weaknesses: Has a tendency to get high in his stance, which negates his power advantage. Range in pass protection is questionable. Needs to keep his legs moving more in the run game.
In the first round, the Browns selected Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden.
