The linebacker room could be the weakest position for the Cleveland Browns after the team hasn’t made many moves to upgrade the group this offseason. They should get better if Anthony Walker is healthy and Sione Takitaki can come back at the level he was playing before his injury last year.
One of the only intriguing moves at the position was the team signing undrafted free agent Mohamoud Diabate out of Utah. He is a smaller player and likely needs to add size if he is to be a MIKE linebacker, but he brings an intriguing skill set.
In his final season of college after transferring from Florida he saw a bit of a change in usage. He was used as a pass rusher more and it seemed to be where he excelled. He is a good athlete that could make an impact on special teams and as a situational rusher early on.
