We're back for the 35th pick of the 2014 Niners Nation Community Mock Draft. You can see previous picks below in the draft table. You can also follow the mock draft board through this story stream.
With the 35th pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, Boss Clifford and the Cleveland Browns select Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State. He also considered Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde; Northern Illinois safety Jimmy Ward, and USC wide receiver Marqise Lee. Here are his thoughts on the pick:
One of the few first-round talents still on the board, Roby has the size, athleticism, and aggressiveness to be a No. 1 corner in the NFL. Playing alongside Joe Haden will ease Roby into a comfortable place on the depth chart. With only Leon McFadden and Buster Skrine on the Browns cornerback depth chart, Roby will come in with a good chance of starting.
Roby had a monster 2012 season, placing as the consensus #1 cornerback on almost all boards. In 2013, he had a down season, both on and off the field. He was notably burned by Jared Abbrederis in his game against Wisconsin, and throughout the year was susceptible to giving up long completions. However, his upside and athleticism are too much to ignore at the top of the second round. Given proper coaching, Roby can become a shutdown corner and make up part of a very talented secondary in Cleveland.
Trevor Woods: This is a great pick to bolster the Browns defense even more. This move would allow Buster Skrines to play exclusively in the slot and allowing Roby to get a chance as the number two corner, opposite Joe Haden. This is the next biggest need for the Browns and Roby is a good option. However, he does have character concerns, with an arrest on his record recently.
Nick Chiamardas: I really like what the Browns have done in this mock. Grabbing Sammy Watkins to compliment Josh Gordan & Jordan Cameron with their first pick and then taking Derek Carr late in the first to address their need a QB. Now adding Roby to an already stout defensive would have many Browns fans smiling from ear to ear. Roby's stock dropped after an inconsistent 2013 campaign but he still has one of the biggest upsdies of any corner in the draft. With elite speed and athleticism, Roby gives the Browns a very formidable 1-2 punch at CB pairing him with Joe Hayden.
