Where are the holes on this team?

PFF chimes in... and gets it right...
Cleveland Browns β Free safety
While the Browns have roster holes still needing filled and most notably still a question mark at the quarterback position, the biggest need the team has after free agency and the draft is free safety. Cleveland addressed several positions of need this offseason, but one of the teamβs biggest weaknesses in 2016 was getting beat deep due to the backend of the defense either busting on the coverage or biting on play action and double moves. The Browns drafted Jabrill Peppers in the first round, but heβll be used as more of a versatile chess piece that can play all over. Currently, Ed Reynolds and Tyvis Powell look to be contenders for the starting job at FS, but Reynolds posted a poor coverage grade in 2016 and Powell has yet to play a regular-season snap on defense in the NFL.

Agree....ergo it was puzzling why it really was not addressed.....unless they consider Peppers that guy...which I don't think anyone does.

No, Peppers is not that guy....he's the one we tapped to fill SS, which was also a gaping hole.....but still one with 2 young up and coming recent draft picks....which we cannot say for FS.....

I'm not really seeing any holes... it's crazy though with the talent starting to overflow from one positon to the next, kinda like Orchard moving form OLB to DE- I mean the talent floweth over.

Yeah....Im around, just still struggling to get excited.....but also trying to keep quite(bite my tongue)....Ive said it all, so kinda waiting and hoping to get some good stuff going and get excited....think we could see a good uptick, but have reservations.....and, right now, everytime I sign in to comment, I end up trying to be a realist, then getting pissed.....even w/o that intent.....
I hope Hue takes this group....puts em in the right spots....picks the right 53.....starts the right 22......but, even with FO making good picks, I still am not confident Hue will have the same positive uptick.....well shall see......season is looming.....looking forward to it(but very tempered)

Just switch to thinking how much fun it is to see a good defense play Mud. You'll feel better.

So don't "try"... can't force what isn't there.
Personally I'm excited to see confirmation of a directional change... that's all. Not looking for "perfection" in Hue or the FO... just confirmation of a positive change that I've sensed for over a year.
Also you might be biting the wrong part of your anatomy...

Always the optimist. Poetic Pollyanna. Can't really complain about that attitude, while not realistic, may be admirable.

Basically this. They have a plan which is clear to see, whether it works or not time will tell but at least there is one, there hasn't been a FO in Cleveland looking past "this year" since I can remember.

I am cautiously optimistic! I want to see what Greg Williams does with this defense and obviously the defenders! If this were Horton,I would be less optimistic! As some have brought up, I like the derection we are headed. Now if only some of these rookies,udfa, and FA can gel/HIT! We may have a good core! Time will tell! GO BROWNS!!!

Main hole is the inability to get sufficient value out of high draft picks. Fix that and all the other holes will get filled. Pay whatever you have to to the best draft people you can find. Hire Pgh and NE best people at twice the salary, whatever you have to do.....

Just a quick reply...the receivers and defensive backfild are still pretty thin.
QB....??? Who knows, we could have drafted a QB number #1 and my answer would be the same. You just never know until they start playing. Kessler and Kiser could turn in to a strength. You just never know.

For sure. In the past perhaps you could say you do know....you knew that things would work out for the worst...because they always have. Now? Perhaps not so much. Things have to turn around don't they? That Wheel of Fortune has always hit the Bankrupt space for us so often, isn't it time we hit the million dollar spot?

Not enough zeros on that wheel for today's players!
Plus I don't watch the wheel, never could stand that pompous Pat Sajak especially since I saw him on Johnny Carson's show bragging how he only works 39 days a year and makes a fortune (5 shows a day).
Meanwhile I hope this year's draft class lives up to everyone's expectations.

What do you think Vanna makes? And she does a lot less.

Not what Pat makes who also said long ago how he hated the show and wanted to quit....but after his late night show flopped big time he went back to corny comments and big paychecks.

I saw some of his late night talk shows....and actually he was not a bad interviewer. But, he was no match for the likes of Johnny Carson.

I remember when a group of Polish-Americans went to give Sajak the Polish-American of the Year Award, he basically threw the plaque and gifts on the floor behind him and moved on.
I always thought he was a schmuck and piss poor TV guy.
