The Cleveland Browns recently held a pre-draft teleconference visit with Bradlee Anae, a pass-rushing EDGE from Utah. Anae would make for a fun fit in Cleveland under new defensive coordinator Joe Woods.
Anae generally projects as a third- or fourth-round prospect. He’s a player where teams like the Browns will have to trust the game tape, because Anae’s athletic testing is not inspiring. His combine results were underwhelming:
However, his game tape is a different story. Anae has exceptional pass rush moves and didn’t rely on his athleticism to win in college, something that’s often not true for top-level pass rushers. During Senior Bowl week, Anae was fantastic, nearly unblockable in 1-on-1s and team drills.
He’d make a very nice No. 3 EDGE for the Browns from the middle rounds.
