1. Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama

One thing that the Browns showed in the 2020 NFL Draft is that they have a deep love for SEC players. All four picks the Browns made on the first two days of the draft came from the conference, starting with tackle Jedrick Wills from Alabama and ending with LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips. As the focus moves to 2021, the Browns should have their eye on yet another SEC linebacker.

With premier linebacker Joe Schobert leaving for the gold and teal pastures of Jacksonville, the Browns need a big-time linebacker to fill his shoes. Second-year defenders Mack Wilson and Sione Takitaki are still relative unknowns from the 2019 NFL Draft, but they will both get a shot at the limelight this season. Unless both Wilson and Takitaki are smash hits, the Browns will need to be looking at linebackers in the first round next year.

Enter Dylan Moses, Alabama’s 6-foot-3 thumper of a linebacker. While Moses didn’t play in 2019 due to an injury he suffered in fall camp, his 2018 tape showed plenty of promise for the next level. Moses’s quickness and explosiveness combined with his size will automatically make him a top prospect on defense in next year’s draft.

After the draft, where do Browns stand in AFC North?. dark. Next

Moses has it all, and may very well be off the board by the time the Browns pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. But if the Crimson Tide’s next great linebacker should fall into Andrew Berry’s lap next April, Cleveland should waste no time turning the card in to commissioner Roger Goodell.
