BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~263 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~288
ANALYSIS: The Browns are another team with a strong defensive line that faces a bunch of teams with below-average offensive lines. The AFC North faces every team in the NFC West, so that includes the aforementioned Rams, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Seahawks. The Cardinals have the second-worst offensive line in PFF's rankings and the fifth-worst if you combine Sharp's and PFN's ranks. The Seahawks have the seventh-worst offensive line.
Incumbent left defensive end Myles Garrett already made 16.0 sacks for the Browns in each of the past two seasons. Now the team added Za'Darius Smith, depth piece Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, and even Dalvin Tomlinson playing the run and pass from the interior.
Smith had double-digit sacks in each of his past three healthy seasons and Okoronkwo had five sacks last season with Houston. They replace the underachieving Jadeveon Clowney, who was benched at the end of last season after finishing with just two sacks and only four QB hits.
There is stand-alone value in all of the sacks the Browns' defense should pile up this season. They boost the defensive, especially the DBs, as a whole.
Cornerbacks Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome won't have to hold their receivers in coverage for so long, as opposing quarterbacks will be pressured to get the ball out quickly. The Browns are my pick for the best-value DST at ADP.
