5 Questions left for the Cleveland Browns to answer after the 2020 NFL Draft

The Cleveland Browns have answered a lot of questions, but these five concerns still linger as the 2020 NFL Season approaches

Heading into this offseason, the Cleveland Browns had a lot of questions to answer. The biggest was in regards to their decision-makers as they moved on from general manager John Dorsey and head coach Freddie Kitchens.

Cleveland was slow to answer each of those, taking their time to hire Kevin Stefanski as the new coach and then even longer to decide on the general manager that would be working with him in Andrew Berry. The good news is, it appears they may have gotten it right.

The new duo worked well together this offseason in identifying the team’s needs and filling those holes in both the draft and free agency. Of course, not every question is answered and that’s where we start here as we look at the five biggest questions still remaining for the Browns.

5. How does the starting D-Line look

One thing Cleveland did this offseason was to bolster their defensive line, which was much-needed. While they had some talent with Myles Garrett, Olivier Vernon, Sheldon Richardson, and Larry Ogunjobi, there was very little depth — and that ended up being their downfall.

In an effort to fix that, Berry and Stefanski went after Andrew Billings and Adrian Clayborn in free agency. They then drafted Jordan Elliott in the third round. While Elliott and Clayborn feel like they’re depth pieces, there’s an argument to be made that Billings should be in the starting lineup. But if so, who sits?

The most likely scenario involves Larry Ogunjobi moving to the bench and playing on third downs. However, they could also decide to move Sheldon Richardson to defensive end in base packages and then slide him inside on third downs.

In this scenario, Olivier Vernon would spend more time on the bench which could actually help him as he had issues staying on the field last year.
