3. Marvin Wilson, Jr., DL, Florida State

Serious college football fans might know this name. Marvin Wilson Jr. was a huge recruit coming out of High School. He chose to go to Florida State, but injuries and frankly Florida State being just bad, left Wilson with less than 5-star career there.

Wilson is 6-5, and over 300 pounds, so you’re not going to miss this guy walking down the street. What the Browns were missing last year was more pressure from their interior linemen.

He still showed flashes of his freakish athleticism and looks like there still might be some juice in him left to squeeze. If the Browns wanted to take a chance in the mid to late rounds on a great athlete, Wilson could be the answer.

Larry Ogunjobi’s price tag might be too high for the Browns this offseason, and Andrew Billings should be back this year after sitting out 2020 for COVID-19. The Browns will still need depth behind Richardson and Billings if he were to become the starter.

Wilson can rotate with last year’s fourth-round pick, Jordan Elliot, and if he’s developed, he could take over for Sheldon Richardson in a year or two. At worst, he could be a force in the middle on pass rushing plays.
