Browns nab Chad Thomas to pair with Myles Garrett

The Cleveland Browns have selected defensive end Chad Thomas out of Miami in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 67th overall.

The Browns passed on top pass-rusher Bradley Chubb at the No. 4 overall pick, so adding some depth behind Myles Garrett and Emmanuel Ogbah was a must.

Thomas is a project and will need to learn how better to use his hands when rushing the quarterback, as well as improve against the run.

What the analysts are saying

• "Has all the physical and athletic traits that a team could look for along the edge and he's versatile enough to play in an odd or even front." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Will bull rush straight up the field all too often and miss a chance to press the pocket, allowing quarterbacks to step up underneath him and complete passes." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
