Derek Wolfe, DT — Denver Broncos

Cleveland’s defensive line isn’t an issue with the starters, but they lack depth — especially at the defensive tackle spot. General manager John Dorsey attempted to land Gerald McCoy and Mike Daniels after preseason buyouts but was unsuccessful and are still rumored to be looking for another defensive tackle.

That brings up one option in Derek Wolfe, a veteran has played well for a Denver defense that ranks fourth in yards allowed. The stout defensive tackle has a team-leading four sacks through seven games.

Some problems could arise. The price tag for Wolfe could be a second or third-round pick. Which brings up one problem —  Wolfe is an unrestricted free agent after the season. The Browns must decide if they want to pay the likes of Rashard Higgins, Joe Schobert, and Damarious Randall. Dorsey may not be willing to add another name to that list.

The Browns are 29th in the NFL, allowing 149 rushing yards per game. Wolfe is 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds and could be a force in the middle to rotate with Larry Ogunjobi and Sheldon Richardson.

This would be looked at as a win-now move, but the Browns’ season-long goals are all still in front of them. Wolfe would go a long way in helping to accomplish those goals.
