Browns NFL Draft needs
Defensive line: Myles Garrett totaled 12 sacks last season, further solidifying himself as one of the best pass rushers in the game. The Browns should prioritize landing another defensive end or tackle to give opposing quarterbacks even more nightmares. Linebacker: If Cleveland wants a blend of pass rushing and coverage ability, then it may lean more toward a linebacker than a defensive lineman. That position group could use an upgrade. Wide receiver: Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry are a talented tandem, but the Browns should consider adding a wide receiver who can develop as Baker Mayfield hits his prime.
