Round 2, Pick 38 - Cleveland Browns - TJ Ward

TJ Ward, S, Oregon

Ht: 5’ 10 1/2” Wt: 211

EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Ward is one of those football players that if he got off the bus he would not impress you but when he puts on the pads and starts playing football he stands out.  Cleveland needs as many talented football players as possible because their roster is lacking serious depth. 

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Tough, competitive, compactly built short-area banger who looks most comfortable in the box. Lacks range and athletic ability to survive on the back but makes his presence felt near the line of scrimmage and should contribute readily on special teams. Good football player.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  What Ward lacks in size, he more than makes up for in versatility, toughness and aggression.  He should make an immediate impact on special teams.  His big hitting and reliable open-field tackling will likely earn him a starting position in the deep secondary early in his career.
