As mentioned earlier, Jalen Tabor is considered an elite cornerback, but his teammate, Quincy Wilson, might be the more NFL-ready player. Honestly, they are both impressive and could each be top-15 picks, but since the Browns need some help in the secondary, he is a perfect fit for Cleveland.

To be honest, the Browns need help just about everywhere on both sides of the ball, but starting with the defense is probably the smart idea. They will likely have the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft and I already believe they will go the route of Myles Garrett out of Texas A&M.

First addressing the defensive line, Cleveland will focus on the secondary. Tabor can make elite plays on the ball and likes to jump routes, but that could cost him with double moves at the next level. He also needs to work on his play against the run.

Linebacker might be another need, but trading for Jamie Collins last week was a big move for the Browns. He could be a piece to the puzzle for the future of this organization, but it’ll take a while before the Browns are turned in the right direction.

Tabor would be a nice complement to Joe Haden next year and could start building toward a brighter future for this lackluster defense.
