NFL Draft 2020 What the Browns didnt do and one thing they definitely got right

The have been widely praised for their efforts in the 2020 NFL Draft. They were able to addre s a handful of needs while doing so with tremendous value.Cleveland was going to take an offensive tackle at No. 10 overall in all likelihood. The only question was, which offensive tackle? They admitted that there were not many scenarios they envisioned where Alabama's would be on the board when it was their turn to select. The AFC North franchise was elated that he was available. The Browns also needed some help at safety. In the Trevor Cahill Jersey second round, they were able to trade back a bit and still acquire a player with a first-round grade -- LSU's .From there, general manager Andrew Berry turned his attention to building depth at positions of need. Mi souri defensive tackle , Florida Atlantic tight end , Washington interior offensive lineman and Michigan wide receiver were all welcomed additions and should make the roster. The only pick that Alex Gordon Jersey felt a bit like a reach was LSU linebacker late in the third round. Their biggest priority was fixing the offensive line and they pa sed that test with flying colors.After examining what Cleveland did well, it's time to take a look at what it was not able to accomplish and lay out a road map for the rest of the offseason.1. Bolster the pa s rush for the present and futureDefensive end is a solid representative opposite . However, he is entering the final year of his hefty contract and has been unable to stay healthy. He has mi sed at least four games in each of the past three seasons. Behind Garrett and Vernon, there is little to no depth. One injury, or suspension in the case witne sed last year, could derail the team's entire strategy on the edge.If they attempt to sign or in free agency, it would likely come at the expense of Vernon. It is hard to justify a $15.5 million salary cap hit on an oft-injured rotational player. If they choose to keep Vernon, then they could look to add an inexpensive veteran to compete.2. Solidify the linebacker Melky Cabrera Jersey unitCleveland has e sentially been to sing bodies into the linebacker heap over the past two years with the hope that two starters emerge. and are gone, which leaves , , B.J. Goodson and now Phillips to compete. There are as many unanswered questions now as there were before the draft. Phillips was CBS Sports' No. 156 prospect overall and the Browns took him at No. 97 overall ahead of Kelvin Herrera Jersey Ohio State's and Appalachian State's . Time will tell if they made the right decision.There are not many viable options that the team could sign in free agency. , who was released by the this offseason, would be a great addition based on ability alone. However, there are supposedly some injury concerns that must be considered and he has been unwilling to come down from his asking price.3. Fill out the secondaryDelpit joined the fold and Cleveland did pay Oklahoma State undrafted free agent cornerback A.J. Green what e sentially amounts to sixth-round pick money, but sixth-round picks are not guaranteed to make the roster. Starting cornerbacks and mi sed a combined eight games last season. They released veteran safety and allowed to leave in free agency. They need to find some consistency in that unit.During free agency, they signed from the to be their slot cornerback. They also signed veteran safeties and . Those two should compete with and Delpit. If everything comes together as planned, they should be fine in the secondary. Relying on health often works out, however. Whit Merrifield Jersey Even if the plan goes accordingly in 2020, the team will need to bring in some long term solutions the following offseason.Fortunately for Cleveland, if it does decide to make any other moves, it has the most salary cap space -- nearly $40 million -- to accomplish it. The Browns have 11 draft choices already in 2021, as well.
