The Cleveland Browns have sprung a massive leap along the interior of their defensive line. They currently rank 27th in the NFL in DVOA according to Football Outsiders against the run, and their talent is even more barren than their numbers. With a top pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft at this point, the Browns must have heavy eyes on Alabama defensive tackle Byron Young.
After the loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, it is time for the Browns to start selling off expiring contracts and to start stocking up on draft picks. The current defensive tackle room includes Taven Bryan, Jordan Elliott, Tommy Togiai, and Perrion Winfrey. There is a real chance there are two or three new faces in that room in 2022.
Young would be an excellent addition to this room. We take an in-depth look at the Alabama Crimson Tide standout here in this 2023 NFL Draft film room.
