Cleveland Browns 2008 NFL Draft Review

(Sports Network) -

4 - Beau Bell, LB, UNLV (6-1, 244); 4 - Martin Rucker, TE, Missouri (6-5, 251); 6 - Ahtyba Rubin, DT, Iowa State (6-3, 315); 6 - Paul Hubbard, WR, Wisconsin (6-3, 221); 7 - Alex Hall, DE, St. Augustine's (6-5, 238)

Analysis: Brady Quinn, Corey Williams, and Shaun Rogers are the reasons the Browns didn't make their initial pick until No. 104, where they selected inside linebacker candidate Bell. Rucker, the brother of retired Panthers end Mike Rucker, was a bizarre pick because he is a pure pass-catching tight end in the mold of Kellen Winslow. Hubbard doesn't fit much of a need either. Rubin was a value pick in the sixth round and might have a chance to contribute, but Hall is practice squad material at best.

Bottom Line: When you have no picks in the first three rounds, no one's going to pat you on the back for your draft.

Grade: C-
