The top of the NFL Draft never goes as expected, and for the first time in a long time that will actually benefit the Cleveland Browns. With Ohio State’s Nick Bosa slipping to No. 4, the Browns have an opportunity to add another stud pass rusher in the former Buckeye.

Imagine you’re a quarterback in today’s NFL, slinging the ball around 30+ times a game. What’s one thing you’d constantly be looking over your shoulder in fear of? A menacing pass rush, yeah? The Cleveland Browns could have two of the league’s premier rushers with the selection of Bosa, pairing him with Myles Garrett for the next decade.
Bosa would fit perfectly opposite Garrett, who are both listed around 6-foot-4 and 270 lbs. This tandem would destroy opposing offensive game-plans and demand each team in the AFC North shore-up their offensive tackle positions in preparation for the up-and-coming Browns.
Adding players like Denzel Ward and Jabrill Peppers to their secondary in recent drafts will only boost Bosa’s immediate production upon arriving in Cleveland, as the Browns have drastically improved their talent-margin on the back end.
