By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including the team’s process to roster building being an early success.
The Cleveland Browns made several big moves over the offseason to put themselves in a great position for playoff contention when they enter the 2019 regular season.
By hitting on several draft picks and pairing them with multiple free agent and trade acquisitions, the Browns have bolstered their roster and now have a fairly balanced roster on offense and defense.
Browns general manager John Dorsey has certainly had his misses in his year and a half with the organization, but he has put them in a great position to capitalize on their young talent.

"On paper, this means the Browns have probably the most enticing collection of prospects in the league. No team outside of Indianapolis has built such an intriguing roster so quickly on both sides of the ball. The Chiefs and the Rams have prospects, but not all collected in two years."
With so much young talent on the roster, Dorsey and the Browns were able to spend money and bring in big-ticket additions to supplement their young talent. But as Dorsey points out, he can’t be overaggressive in the present because of the need to save money to pay for the young talent. The roster building process may be a success already, but how the roster is shaped in two more years will define just how well the process has worked.
