Daily Dawg Tags: Andrew Berry talks Cleveland Browns draft

The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including Andrew Berry dropping some pre-draft hints

The 2022 NFL Draft is just days away now and while the Cleveland Browns don’t have a pick in Round 1, they have still done well in subsequent rounds under general manager Andrew Berry.

And just ahead of the event, Berry pulled the curtain back — ever so slightly — on what he and the front office is thinking heading into the draft.

While he didn’t reveal much, he did still have a few interesting nuggets including their willingness to draft a player who might require patience (such as someone coming off an injury).

That story and more can be found in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

"“The Browns needed to trade Baker Mayfield before the ink dried on Deshaun Watson’s contract. Instead, they trashed Baker in the media, aided in killing his trade value and are stuck with a QB they don’t want,” Griffin wrote."

RGII is pretty far off base with his claims. The Browns have not been trashing Baker in the media, instead, he has diminished his own value by getting back on social media and appearing on podcasts where he threw some shade at the team. His value was already hurt by his play in 2021 and only got worse when he gave more ammunition to those who are already calling him too immature.
