Jordan Elliott washes out quickly
Not every selection pans out. It happens every year, even to the most successful teams. The biggest miss in GM Andrew Berry’s first class will be the high risk/reward third-rounder, Jordan Elliott.
At Missouri, Elliott was a disruptive defensive tackle and a menace for unskilled interior blockers. He’s not without ability to shoot gaps and his hand and shoulder usage are impressive. But Elliott was quite reliant on winning the initial battle right off the snap. Guys who need that to win in the NFL don’t last long. There is reason to have hope with Elliott, but there’s a very real chance it doesn’t last long for him in Cleveland.
