Cleveland Browns
The Browns roster is quite talented but other spots could be considered holes first
The Cleveland Browns roster is somewhere between stacked and really good depending on who you ask and their opinion on QB Deshaun Watson going into the 2024 NFL season. The Browns brought back a ton of players from their playoff run in 2023, added pieces (including starters Jerry Jeudy and Jordan Hicks) while selecting Michael Hall Jr. in the NFL draft to make an immediate impact.
Watson will be the key to the team as the quarterback position is that important and his performance has not...

25 questions with a defensive force who owns two Super Bowl rings
In 1989, the Cleveland Browns went 9-6-1 under new head coach Bud Carson who had taken over for Marty Schottenheimer. The franchise had never had a losing season under Shotts and most had the impression that Carson’s roster was simply Schottenheimer’s team thus the winning win-loss record.
The defense under Schotts and DC Dave Adolph played the 3-4. Carson was also a defensive mind and his scheme was the 4-3 which meant the roster had to have more defensive ends.

Dawson Deaton was a 7th round pick in the 2022 NFL draft
The Cleveland Browns, like all teams, hope for close to miracles in the final two rounds of the NFL draft. The results the team got out of WR Donovan Peoples-Jones for a few years is more than a success story, it is the exception to the rule.
This year’s draft class has three players from the sixth and seventh rounds who are hoping to make it despite the long odds: LB Nathaniel Watson, CB Myles Harden (“a major value”) and DT Jowon Briggs.

Darius Shaquille Leonard one of the few that fits the bill
The Cleveland Browns were busy in NFL free agency even if their only splash this offseason came in a trade for WR Jerry Jeudy. The NFL draft has come and gone with the Browns sticking with their six selections to add a variety of interesting players for specific reasons.
Turning back to free agency, Cleveland added another player to the interior of their offensive line this week in what looks like a final addition on top of signing or re-signing:

The teams have improved, whether most fans will agree with this statement or not. If your team had a weakness last season that needed to be addressed and it was, that is a positive to look at. We could analyze the entire rosters in the AFC North but that’s for another day. Let’s look...
