What do we need to take the next step?
-
We are VERY close to dominant. Needs in order
A true #1 receiver
LT
a LB or 2 that can cover a TE

I think the wr should be a good FA u pickup. Rest of the possitions are fillable with the draft. Resign Higgins and perriman. Wr group not as bad as a couple years ago.

BPA from here on out, with about 25% position need taken into consideration

If you drafted 2 LB's and 2 OT's with the first 4 picks I wouldn't be unhappy.
However somewhere in there we need an impact DT and impact DE as well.
WR is not on that list for good reason.. resign Perriman, he is the 1st-rounder we've been looking for. Everything said about any WR in the 2019 draft.. is true of Higgins [hands] and Perriman [speed, height, red zone] and Landry [contested catches over the middle] and Njoku [freak athlete TE].

You might be right on. A stud DT, perhaps in the first round, and then I want LBs and DBs. I hate saying this, but we can't assume Denzel Ward will be ok. It breaks my heart even THINKING this, but Ward might be the victim of bad luck, or he might just be injury prone. It almost doesn't seem fair. Ward was instantly one of my favorite players, and apparently he's a better human being than football player. He's definitely in my thoughts, and I wish him a long and healthy career.
But we can't assume everything will be merry, so we may have to draft CBs early and often because I'm of the mindset that you just can't have enough.

As well, remember when considering a early-round WR: Look at Doctson's play with Wash. He combines the bad hustle of the worst of Gordon with the bad hands of the worst of our other WR's. If you're wrong with the pick, not only did you waste it, but you also passed up a blue-chip contributor at another position.
Maybe Doctson will decide he wants to be good - but that won't happen with his current team. Don't be that team.

Let's face it, we're out of the playoffs and have been for some time....even though the Fat Lady hasn't been given the microphone yet.
It's going to be another eventful offseason for the Browns. This time however, we have some real hope.
Obviously, our coaching situation is up in the air. And that's a major thing. We have some good players now, so it won't be extremely hard for new coaches to continue the winning thing that we've experienced....but there IS a possibility of issues. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. We're notorious for changing schemes requiring DL and LB'er retooling. So, hopefully that won't be the case this time.
The Ghoul mentioned that we need an inside pass rusher on the DL. I agree that the DL is not done and that that's a good idea.
I think there's a possibility that we move on from Jamie Collins at years' end. Linebacker may be a need.
Certainly cornerback is a need. Ward is practicing again and hopefully he can play the final two games but his concussion thing is a dark could looming overhead.
On offense the tackle positions require examination.
WR is of course pointed to any time this type of question comes up. And there's no reason to see if we can't add a quality receiver......but that Derick Willies guy is an intriguing prospect. He looks good getting off the bus, runs fast and can catch.
TE's. We've got TE's falling off the ends of the bench.
- I would draft a QB to sit the bench in Tyrod's place.

probalbly defense....we do need another pass rusher...i think the ol will be ok...they are young and seem to be getting a little better...need a good punt return player/kickoff return player....and most of all we need run stoppers....looking foward to the draft...i sure hope we get at least 1 of those mack truck dl from alabama...

I think the theme of the Browns future FA and draft will be defense, defense, defense.....with a little offense thrown in.

Definitely could use some DLine help... another starter at one of the OLB spots (or both?)… I'd like more depth at corner.
On offense, upgrades at both tackle spots could be a priority... Wide receiver would be nice.

We need more speed at wr. As a buckeye fan I wouldn't mind Paris Cambell in the 2nd round if he is still there. The dude can fly. I think we add another lb in free agency and one in the draft. Going to be really weird to be drafting at like 17 this year. Go Browns!! What a awesome year.

DT/DE is our single biggest need on the entire team right now. We're not gonna fill that need in the draft unless someone has another video surface of taking bong rips through a ww2 gas mask. Barring that, its gonna have to be done through FA

I see it a little differently especially if we keep Perriman (and we should). He’s a 4.24 guy at 6’ 2”. Callaway is a speed demon too. I’d like to see us get a tall stout WR as a#1.

Defense wins playoff games. Add another defender of Dorsey's choice @ #1. BTW we are currently picking at #17 overall. We have been going downhill and I put that on Huey for leaving.?

I honestly think the next step is to publicly announce the official hiring of Gregg Williams and Freddie Kitchens as the future coaches of our team, and I'd do it tomorrow. It would inspire this team beyond belief, something they'll need for this ridiculously tough game Sunday afternoon. I've seen enough, I've HEARD enough. Gregg's most recent pressers were just so impressive, and he speaks honestly and from the heart. He communicates well with the media, and I enjoy his explanations and historical references he sometimes makes. How proud he was to get this place rocking again. And when a reporter asked about the importance of team celebrations after good plays, he didn't just give a generic answer, he said:
“It is always extremely important that you enjoy the celebrations of a win, enjoy the celebrations of a team,” Williams said. “I think it is important that you see that if it is an offensive celebration, that the defensive guys are fired up. When it is a defensive celebration, you see the offensive guys fired up. You see a team celebration.”
He would go on to say a few more things, but it's obvious that he's connected to this team. They listen to him, and he's genuinely enjoying this opportunity. I realize that it's easier to feel good when you are winning, but this team is GROWING. I don't want to stunt the growth of a young team with new systems or different personnel. Why would you? It's time to call off the "coaching search", and give the coaches, the players, and the fans a Christmas present. Sign Gregg and Freddie, and let the good times freaking roll.
