Randall Telfer to Browns: Full Draft-Pick Breakdown

The theme of the Cleveland Browns' 2015 NFL draft has been character, so let's check up on how Randall Telfer fares in that department.

From his ESPN Scouts Inc. scouting report: "Grounded and mature individual. Respectful and polite. Good work ethic and always looking to improve."

Additionally, an AFC scout told NFL.com's Lance Zierlein: "You can't find someone to say a negative word about him in those (USC) offices. Plays hurt, tough, leader and a good teammate."

So Telfer clearly meets general manager Ray Farmer's newfound obsession with extremely high-character prospects, but what does he bring to the football field?

Unfortunately, he's not going to make Browns fans forget about Jordan Cameron, but he does have a potential role on this team. 

Telfer is an in-line blocking tight end and will likely compete with Jim Dray for that role in the Browns offense. 

Dray was forced into a fairly substantial role a season ago due to injuries, but his role on the team is as the third-string tight end who can be brought onto the field when the team needs an extra blocker on the offensive line. 

Even after being forced into a starting role in a handful of games, Dray was still used as blocker on over 70 percent of his snaps in 2014, according to Pro Football Focus. 

It remains to be seen how new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo utilizes the blocking tight ends such as Dray and Telfer. 

Last year in Oakland, where DeFilippo was the quarterbacks coach, the team primarily used just one tight end (Mychal Rivera), and it was almost exclusively as a receiver. For blocking duties, the Oakland Raiders turned to their fullback/H-back Marcel Reece, a role which Telfer's fellow sixth-round pick, Malcolm Johnson, will likely fill in Cleveland.

Of course, DeFilippo may have different ideas on how to alter the scheme he was a part of in Oakland now that he's calling the shots on offense, so there may be significant roles for both the H-back and the in-line blocking tight end in the Browns offense in 2015. 

With a total of 12 picks in the draft and almost certainly fewer than 12 open spots on the roster, Telfer is far from a guarantee to break onto the 53-man roster. The Browns will likely give him an opportunity in training camp to compete with Dray, and if he loses the battle there, there will be a spot for him on the practice squad. 

Grade: B+
