If they go with the strong leader type at head coach, with final say on personnel, I think they go defensive heavy in free agency and the draft becomes the new guy's chance to put a stamp on the team.
You could "finish" the defense by picking up:
Keenan Lewis - CB - Steelers
Michael Johnson - DE - Bengals
Jarius Byrd - S - Bills
I think Lewis and Johnson could be had if the Browns slightly overpay. I'm ok with that because the Browns need to spend to get to the cap floor (and it gives Haslam a chance to show how serious he his) and they weaken teams in the Browns division.
The new HC gives Jauron the keys to the D. The draft priorities become TE, QB, G, WR...not necessarily in that order. A guy like Chip Kelly could fit great in this scenario. He would be able to focus all of his energy on a draft class he knows very well. An under the radar QB pick could be a guy like....EJ Manuel. |

Ive looked at that a few times, and it only really works if the Browns can trade down in the 1st and pick up 2nd +... otherwise there are no offensive players in the top 10 that the Browns would be interested in and they wouldnt get another offensive pick till the 3rd...

This would be the way I'd do it. Although, you may have to sub out Byrd with Levitre, his teammate. Odds are Byrd will be franchised.

Or you take BPA at 6 - and get Manti Te'o.
Roll with Weeden for another year.
Take offense in 3, 4, 5, 6, and a punter in round 7.
Late round flier on a QB like Colin Klien from K-State. |

I would really love a combo of Lewis and Byrd. It would give us a to of flexibility in the draft.

OG & DB (FS or CB) needs to be a FA priority IMO
possibly TE if Watson isn't resigned.

I'd love Delmas, assuming he stays healthy. He's not really the ballhawk type, but he's very good in coverage.
With such a deep safety class I see us picking up the best prospect that slips.

I love Te'o, but remember those mid-late round picks are depth players so the only additions you just made are to the defensive side of the ball.

The new offensive coach isnt going to like that....

Rambo is my favorite in the class... and maybe the kid the Fresno...
The Browns... always looking forward to the offseason.

Thomas of Fresno State is the best ball hawk in the draft statistically.
He is better in coverage than vs the run but not by much.
