Interesting article by Dan Pompei, who sat in some of their predraft meetings, about what high profile rookies the Browns liked and didn't. Among the more interesting tidbits:

- they downgraded Ernie Sims, Manny Lawson, Tamba Hali, Mathias Kiwanuka and Thomas Howard b/c they didn't fit their scheme.

- of those, Lawson did end up in a 3-4, but they didn't think Lawson could handle coverage

- they thought Wimbley could, and showed more athleticism, so they took him

- they saw Bobby Carpenter as an ILB, Dallas plans to use him outside

- they see Hali as nothing more than a situational pass rusher

- Victor Adeyanju, Mark Anderson, Elvis Dumervil, Dusty Dvoracek, Chad Greenway, Orien Harris, John McCargo, Frostee Rucker, Kyle Williams and Claude Wroten they thought were questionable fits, as well
