I would recommend watching some tape on Braelon, he's a specific type of back that is extremely rare to find and fits exactly what we need in the room. He's a guy who can handle a 3-down workload, but because of his size(6'2" 245 lbs), he shines in short-yard situations. He's an above-average block and great hands(93% catch percentage when thrown his way). Gives Burrow the option of playing under center with dual back situations. If I had to give him a player comp it would be a mix of Le'Veon Bell and Brandon Jacobs. Its rare to find guys with that skill set and worth a 3rd round pick in my opinion.
I've watched several games of his games at Wisconsin. I get it that he's a specific back, but I don't think we use that high of a pick when we have Moss, Brown and Williams. I also don't think he really fits our offense. He definitely fits the other AFC North teams.
