Browns select S Derrick Kindred of TCU with the No. 129 pick
April 30, 2016Browns select WR Jordan Payton of UCLA with pick No. 154
April 30, 2016The Browns took TE Seth DeValve with their fourth and final pick of the fourth round, pick No. 138. DeValve is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound senior tight end from Princeton. In just six games last season, he caught 33 passes for 337 yards and one touchdown. He is an athletic player who ran a 4.68 second 40-yard dash, jumped 40 inches in the vertical and jumped 10-feet-5-inches in the broad jump at his Pro Day. His 40 time would have been the second best at the NFL Combine, while his vertical and broad jump would have been the best at the Combine. The Browns could always use another athletic pass catcher in their offense and DeValve is just that.
#Browns 4th-round pick TE Seth DeValve is the highest any Princeton player has been drafted (138th overall). #NFLDraft2016

Here is a look at what NFL.com has to say about the newest Browns tight end:
STRENGTHS: Broad shoulders with the type of ready-made frame to add additional bulk if necessary. Possesses above average ball skills and can make late adjustments low and wide to throws. College wide receiver who should bring a great understanding of route running to tight end position.
WEAKNESSES: Hands can be inconsistent at the catch point. Needs to do better job of consistently securing catch despite being pushed or hit afterwards. A little top heavy into routes causing rolling stops. Lacks suddenness into breaks. Needs better route awareness to avoid traffic. Not much tape as a blocker.
Here are some highlights of the newest Browns tight end during his college career:

Yeah. I’m good with this pick. Big athletic smart dude.
Surprised that Harvard guys would pick a Princeton guy!
I like him a lot, and it sounds like his foot issues should be behind him now thanks to corrective surgeries in 2014 and 2015.
