ESPN draft expert Peter Schrager marvels at Cleveland's war room at the top of the first round.

ESPN's " The Pick is In" documentary was an eye-opening look inside the draft rooms for a couple of teams, the Browns being one of them. The clip of Andrew Berry navigating the top of the draft board to drop down from pick six to pick nine with the Kansas City Chiefs to acquire additional draft capital and still get the top player on the board was a job well done by Andrew Berry. On Tuesday, ESPN's Peter Schrager talked about the maneuver on his podcast, The Schrager Hour, where he complimented how Andrew Berry controlled his room.

I loved "The Pick is In," the new doc that ESPN ran on Sunday night that took us into the "war rooms" on Draft weekend in Cleveland, Las Vegas, and Dallas. Hard not to come away being very impressed with Andrew Berry's mastery of the top ten. The Browns were my big winners.

Berry was the nucleus of the entire draft room. He sat in the middle of the table with his head coach directly to his right and the owner of the franchise a couple of spots down. Behind him in the audience seating were all of his area scouts getting ready for when they were called on.
