Cleveland Browns use first of two second-round picks on Pitt pass rusher Jabaal Sheard


BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns took Pittsburgh defensive end Jabaal Sheard with the 37th overall selection of the second round. They also have the 59th pick.
At 6-3 and 264 pounds, Sheard fits the physical profile preferred by General Manager Tom Heckert for his defensive ends.
Sheard was named Big East Conference defensive player of the year after turning in nine sacks and 14.5 tackles for losses. He also had four forced fumbles.
The big year came after an arrest in the summer of 2010 for throwing a man through a glass door of an art gallery. Sheard ultimately pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
Sheard finished his career with elbow surgery and was not able to play in the Compass Bowl and Senior Bowl.
