Browns address offensive line in Casserly’s mock

Charlie Casserly has released his latest mock draft and has the Cleveland Browns addressing a clear area of need, offensive line. Left tackle is still a need for the Cleveland Browns. Charlie Casserly has Cleveland addressing that in his latest mock draft. With the 10th overall pick Cleveland selects offensive tackle from Georgia, Andrew Thomas. Thomas is becoming quite a popular pick for Cleveland in mock drafts. Casserly explained the pick. With big-ticket free-agent signee Jack Conklin at right tackle and Thomas manning the blind side, the Browns would have a pair of bookends to protect 2018's No. 1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield, in the quarterback's pivotal third year. This is pretty solid reasoning from Casserly. Cleveland already found the replacement for Chris Hubbard ...

Josh Edwards has Browns drafting Andrew Thomas

Josh Edwards of CBS Sports released his latest mock draft and has the Cleveland Browns selecting offensive tackle Andrew Thomas out of Georgia. This is a selection that is only gaining more and more traction, Andrew Thomas to the Browns at 10th overall. Even the signing of Jack Conklin has not changed the mind of anyone when it comes to Cleveland's approach in the draft. CBS Sports' Josh Edwards has continued this trend and has the Browns taking the Georgia tackle at 10 in his latest mock draft. Here is why Edwards mocked Thomas to the Browns at 10th overall. Cleveland has added right tackle Jack Conklin and tight end Austin Hooper in free agency. By adding Thomas, they solidify the offensive line. Offensive tackle was a weakness for Cleveland last year but it has turned into a ...

Browns picks in three round mock draft

The Cleveland Browns have made some interesting moves in free agency and that has played a factor in Ryan Wilson's mock draft. 10. Andrew Thomas OT Georgia With the 10th pick Wilson has the Browns taking Andrew Thomas. This is as expected. Cleveland still needs help on the offensive line and Wilson states that in his reasoning for the pick. The team signed RT Jack Conklin in free agency. Chris Hubbard could move from RT to RG and Andrew Thomas would be the Browns starting LT on Day 1. Maybe this is the year it all comes together for Cleveland. Jack Conklin is the new right tackle, but left tackle is still a giant question mark. Cleveland could obviously opt to go in different directions depending on the first nine picks go. A trade down or defensive option could be in the car...

Andrew Sendejo signs one-year deal with Browns

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to a one-year deal with former Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles safety Andrew Sendejo. Andrew Sendejo is coming to Cleveland. The former Vikings and Eagles safety has agreed to a one-year deal with the Browns. https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1241016027984678915?s=20 As Mike Garafolo mentions the deal is worth $2.25 million for the 10-year veteran. Sendejo played nine seasons for the Vikings and was quite productive during his time in Minnesota. Pro Football Focus was quick to chime in on their grade of Andrew Sendejo https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1241017292625973254?s=20 Those numbers are great, but context is everything. https://twitter.com/Jimmmitude/status/1241026092208660481?s=20 The above is the amount...

Browns sign return man JoJo Natson

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms on a one-year $1 million deal with return man JoJo Natson. There could very well be a new return man for the Cleveland Browns next season. The team will be signing former Jets and Rams returner JoJo Natson. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1240770452739547137?s=20 It is a one-year deal worth $1 million for Nation per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Browns needed to find a new return man as Dontrell Hilliard was very underwhelming. If Natson somehow performs worse than Hilliard that would be quite surprising. JoJo Natson spent his first season in New York with the Jets before playing the last two years with the Los Angeles Rams. Natson is a wide receiver, but only has two career receptions, both coming during his time with Jets....

Kevin Johnson signs one-year deal with Browns

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with former Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills cornerback Kevin Johnson. It's another one-year deal for the Browns defense. Cleveland is signing former Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills cornerback Kevin Johnson to a one-year deal. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1240757430096670722?s=20 As Adam Schefter reported, the deal is heavy on incentives. The contract could end up being worth $6 million if Kevin Johnson performs well in Cleveland. The Browns keep adding one-year deals to their defense. While they provide roster flexibility, it will inevitably lead to massive roster turnover next season. At some point the Browns need to sign a defensive player to a deal longer than one year. Johnson spent last season...

Browns add depth by signing Andrew Billings

The Cleveland Browns have added depth to their defensive line by signing former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Andrew Billings. The complete lack of depth on the Cleveland Browns defensive line was exposed repeatedly last season. In an effort to fix the Browns have signed former Bengals defensive tackle Andrew Billings. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1240673623058366464?s=20 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1240680022479962112?s=20 It is a one-year deal for Billings with $3.5 million in guaranteed money. This is just the latest one-year deal the Browns have made on the defensive side of the ball. Cleveland signed Karl Joseph and BJ Goodson Wednesday to bolster their defense. The Browns have identified players to sign to short term deals in order to piece toge...

BJ Goodson signs one-year deal with Browns

The Cleveland Browns have signed BJ Goodson to a one-year deal after moving on from Christian Kirksey and Joe Schobert. BJ Goodson is not the most exciting linebacker, but that is who the Cleveland Browns have slated to be a starter after signing Wednesday. https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1240418869417848837?s=20 It is a one-year deal for Goodson and the Browns, exactly what the front office is looking for at this point in free agency. Cleveland has already made their high profile signings, now it is time for bargain shopping, buying low on a player with the hope he outperforms his contract. Goodson spent the first three years of his career in Green Bay before ending up with the Giants last season. Goodson is not great in coverage which will create problems in rega...

Browns sign safety Karl Joseph

The Cleveland Browns have addressed their depleted secondary by signing former Raiders safety Karl Joseph to a one-year deal. Defense is a clear area of need and the Cleveland Browns addressed that Wednesday by signing former Raiders safety Karl Joseph. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1240431104898871296?s=20 It is a one-year deal for Joseph who is looking to bounce back in 2020. This is the exact type of deal that makes sense for both sides. Cleveland needs help on the back end of their defense and Joseph needs to rebuild some value. If Joseph plays well and stays healthy he could set himself up for a big contract after the season. By signing him to only a one-year deal, Cleveland has the option to move on after the year if things do not work out. Karl Joseph is a big...

Andy Janovich traded to Browns

The Cleveland Browns continue to build their roster as they have traded a 2021 7th round pick to the Denver Broncos to acquire fullback Andy Janovich. The Cleveland Browns have embraced the fullback. Cleveland will send a 2021 7th round draft pick to the Denver Broncos for Andy Janovich. https://twitter.com/MikeKlis/status/1240043247206006786?s=20 As Mike Klis mentions, Janovich became expendable in Denver due to not needing a fullback. This allowed Cleveland to swoop in and acquire Janovich for pretty much nothing. A 7th round pick is certainly worth it from a value standpoint for Cleveland. The success rate of those picks is not high and if they can acquire a potential starter for that late of a pick you do it 100% of the time. Once the Cleveland Browns decided to hire ...
