Cleveland
Browns.

LB with the intelligence to anchor the pass defense. His processing is elite, and his ceiling is that type of tackler who patches the middle of the field.

This kid is the disruptor the IDL needs. An impact 3-tech, though we'll see if his anchor holds up against the physicality of double teams.

Smith covers the OT of the future the system needs. High floor, but his pad level sometimes costs him in short-yardage situations.

An instinctive LB that the Browns need; if he adds some bulk, his speed and processing will transform the defense.

Addresses the lack of punch on the interior, versatile for the DL. High ceiling if he learns to play low and diversifies his pass-rush.

Lauck is the anchor at RT they need with Conklin's departure. He won't be an elite athlete, but his technical floor is very safe—a plug-and-play.

That impactful linebacker they were missing, the physical motor to set the tone for the defense. A gamble subject to his progress in coverage.

Instant power in the A-gap; Moten solves the first wave of DTs, we'll see how he develops those counter moves.

Knapp comes in to compete for the RT spot post-Conklin. The ND technical pedigree is there, but his ceiling depends on how much he can strengthen his anchor against the bull-rush.
