FanSided - 3 moves the Browns should make this offseason:
"The Big Move" -
Buy the final piece of the pass rush
The Browns have built a defense that, with just one or two more pieces at positions of need, could become one of the league’s best. With a bonafide superstar in defensive end Myles Garrett, and a disruptor in the middle with Larry Ogunjobi, the Browns are so close to having one of the league’s top defensive fronts.
Fortunately for the Browns, this is one of the top free agency classes for defensive line talent in a very long time. It’s unlikely that the Texans will let Jadeveon Clowney walk in free agency, so it’s best not to get caught up in a very low possibility signing. Rather, the Browns should be zeroing in on Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, or if they can steal him away from the Dallas Cowboys, defensive end DeMarcus Ware.
"Building Depth on the Roster" -
The Browns should be looking to draft for depth in 2019. They no longer need the best player available on the board, and they can pinpoint some needs in select areas. Outside of those, they just need to fill out the roster. They have the all-stars, now they just need the, “hey, he’s a nice piece” kind of players.
"Top Draft Priority" -
Get Baker Mayfield a new buddy
(...)But, pair a young star quarterback like Baker Mayfield up with a real No. 1 receiver? You could have something special on your hands. Depending on how you grade them, there may or may not be a future top-flight receiver in this draft class. But, if there is, Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry might just be that guy.
It’s a low-probability outcome, but if Harry is still on the board at No. 17 when the Browns pick, John Dorsey should be sprinting to Roger Goodell with the draft card. With Harry’s massive 6-4 frame and insane catch radius, Mayfield can put the ball basically anywhere he wants to.
