S. LSU. Jamal Adams. 11. player. 53.

After grabbing a potential franchise quarterback in Kizer with their first pick, the Browns will get another first-round selection thanks to their trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. While they could try and add some more weapons on offense, they would probably better off focusing on defense while adding offensive pieces in later rounds.

The Browns need to find more defensive backs to help out Joe Haden. With the 11th overall pick, the Browns are in a great spot to get one of the best overall players in this draft class in LSU safety Jamal Adams.

Adams looks like the most complete safety in this year’s draft class. His instincts are outstanding and his willingness to make big hits makes him almost unstoppable. He can line up in the box or deep in coverage, making it hard for opposing offenses to plan against him.

It’s been a while since the Browns have had a true impact defender like Adams. Hopefully adding him and Kizer could finally help them start to turn things around.
