The Browns will get two first-round picks thanks to the trade they made with the Philadelphia Eagles, who moved up to grab Carson Wentz. Cleveland is such a mess that they could use you just about anyone with their second pick. On the bright side, that means that they can look for the best value pick.

Looking at who is still on the board, Florida’s Jarrad Davis might be the most talented player available. He’s a strong all-around linebacker that uses his athleticism to make plays all around the field. He can stop the run, rush the passer and also does a pretty solid job in pass coverage, as long as it’s zone coverage or man against tight ends or running backs.

Davis is still developing as a player, but the potential is there for the Florida prospect to become a household name. Adding Davis and Garrett to the defense could help the Browns start to turn things around, at least marginally.
