While the Cleveland Browns have yet to make it official, the team has decided on Jim Schwartz as their next defensive coordinator. The hiring of Schwartz not only brings in a seasoned coach with loads of respect behind his name but also means Cleveland won’t have to totally revamp their roster on that side of the ball. The same issues that were seen all season need to be addressed this offseason either through free agency, trades or the NFL draft. The interior of the defensive line needs significant help, a true free safety would be helpful, help at defensive end with Jadeveon Clowney unlikely to return and stability/health at linebacker will be needed. Now that Schwartz is in place, we will start our weekly look at what a Browns draft could look like. Some weeks we will also include a full offseason mock-up with free-agent decisions, trades and moves made with players currently on the roster.
