The Cleveland Browns team needs seem to be very similar to the ones that started the offseason. While the team recently added Stephen Weatherly and brought back Sheldon Day, the defensive line remains a thin group lacking multiple starting players. We touched on Touchdown Wire’s defensive end rankings and a few of the players Cleveland could pursue in the second and third rounds.
Today we move inside. The defensive tackle position is one that GM Andrew Berry has drafted midround players and signed one year veterans to try to solve but with limited success. Jordan Elliott and Tommy Togiai have not shown the ability to be starter-level players while veterans Andrew Billings and Malik Jackson were helpful but far from impactful.
The Malik McDowell return started off well but an incident in Florida this offseason may have ended his chances with the Browns.
