At 6-foot-4, 212 pounds, Boston has proven to be a red-zone mismatch waiting to happen and flashed elite ball skills during his time in Washington, as evidenced by his 3.1% drop rate in 2025, per Pro Football Focus.
The knock against Boston is his lack of a second gear and ability to separate, both later on routes and when breaking free against coverage. He opted against running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and his pro day, giving up an opportunity to dismiss such concerns, but no test could speak louder than his productivity on the field over the past two seasons, anyway.
Cleveland’s logic is easy to understand with the pick. While Concepcion provides the Browns with an explosive receiver who can make a difference in the league after the catch, Boston is built to line up outside, defenders and serve as a reliable, big target for whoever is playing quarterback.
In two of his three picks so far, Browns general manager Andrew Berry threw his available capital at a roster that ranked among the worst in the league. If all goes well, the Browns will look a lot better when they take the field this fall.
