Cleveland Browns biggest remaining needs after Odell Beckham Jr. trade
By Dan Justik
The Cleveland Browns have addressed some major needs this off-season, but what are their biggest needs following the Odell Beckham Jr. trade.
Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey has not shied away from making aggressive moves this off-season to add talent to the roster.
Before the new league year opened, Dorsey already found a new pass rusher on the edge, a stout defensive tackle, and a game changing wide receiver.
Entering the off-season, it was obvious finding an edge rusher and a defensive tackle should be a priority for Dorsey. And it was obvious that Dorsey felt the same after trading for Olivier Vernon and agreeing to terms with free agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson.
The Browns also decided they needed to find a game-breaking wide receiver who will make plays all over the field. So then they traded for Odell Beckham Jr., creating a dynamic offense that will cause problems for almost every defense.
Even with those three moves, it does not appear Dorsey is done being aggressive. The Browns are all-in on their window to win now and the front office is going to do whatever they can to add talent.
Although they addressed major needs when trading for Vernon and Beckham, the Browns do have two more holes they will need to address this off-season after those trades. And they will not have a first round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft to address those needs.
Following the big moves by Dorsey, here’s a look at the biggest remaining needs on the Cleveland Browns roster they should address in free agency or through the draft.
