One of the goals for the Cleveland Browns this offseason was to piece together a more consistent pass rush.

Takk McKinley and Malik Jackson will have opportunities to contribute towards that.

But could the Browns also get help in that department through the draft still?

Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye might think so.


 

Paye-Day?

So the Browns have been in discussion with Paye, but will they bring him to Cleveland?

He’d have to be taken in the first round, if he even falls to the 26th spot.

He’s impressed at Michigan’s pro day as well which will only increase his value with no NFL Combine this year.

One issue with him getting to that 26th selection is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have the 24th pick and have also met with Kwity.

With the departure of Bud Dupree to Tennessee in free agency, Pittsburgh is also desperate for a pass-rushing partner to put opposite of T.J. Watt.

The Browns will be looking to do the same with Myles Garrett.

With defensive ends so prominent in today’s game, it’s safe to assume other teams will have their eyes on Paye in the first round as well.


 

Draft Evaluation

Taking a quick glance at Paye’s profile, it’s easy to see why teams would have interest in the first round.

At 6’4” and 272 pounds, Paye is a menacing figure for opposing offensive lines to deal with.

His junior season with the Wolverines was a monstrous one. Paye was in on 50 total tackles, 12.5 of those for a loss, and tallied 6.5 sacks as well.

He’s a quick, physical edge presence that can impact the game in several ways.

His senior season at Ann Arbor, similarly to seniors elsewhere around the nation, was anything but normal.

With both injuries and COVID-19 cancellations playing a role, Paye only appeared in four games last season.

While statistically it is tough to judge, his 2020 season was still a good one.

The junior year tape and pro day appearance will be what he relies on most in regard to his draft stock.

His 40-yard dash time has sparked a bit of an interesting social media discussion.

The replies to the aforementioned tweet mention the time being beneficial to Paye since there is no official combine clock.

The general consensus seems to be that you need to add 0.1 seconds to the time, meaning his 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine would be right at 4.64 seconds.

There will be more conversation about Paye and other edge rushers as the draft creeps closer and closer.

More reports of these virtual meetings are sure to pop up with the draft evaluation process being done do differently due to the pandemic.

For Browns fans, Kwity Paye may just be a name to keep an eye on in April.
