Potential Interior DL thread

Free agents:
Grady Jarrett, DT, Falcons. Age: 26.
Grady Jarrett is one of the top 4-3 defensive tackles in the NFL. He's absolutely dominant in the interior, both as a pass rusher and a run stopper. He's turns just 26 in April, so he could continue to improve his game. He's set to earn a huge contract soon.
Sheldon Richardson, DT, Vikings. Age: 28.
Sheldon Richardson is an extremely talented defensive lineman, playing very strongly in the pass rush and run defense. He can play in both the 4-3 and 3-4, so he should garner tons of interest if he gets to the open market.
Michael Pierce (RFA), NT, Ravens. Age: 26.
Michael Pierce is an elite run-stuffer. He doesn't generate much of a pass rush, but he's not completely lost in that regard. He's also young, as he won't turn 27 until around Thanksgiving.
David Irving, DT, Cowboys. Age: 26
David Irving was dominant down the stretch in 2016, and he proved that wasn't a fluke the year after. He was limited to just eight games because of a concussion and a suspension, but he was terrific in those eight contests, registering seven sacks, which is a high number for a player at his position in a full 16-game slate. Irving barely played in 2018 because of injury. However, he's just 26 in August, so he should continue to improve his game.
Muhammad Wilkerson, DE/DT, Packers. Age:29 From 2012 to 2015, Muhammad Wilkerson was considered a top-five 3-4 defensive end. It could've even been argued that he was the second-best player at his position in the entire league, behind only J.J. Watt. Wilkerson was rewarded with a 5-year, $87 million deal in the summer of 2016. Wilkerson mailed it in after that, then was cut. Wilkerson joined the Packers and played very well for three games before suffering a season-ending injury. Wilkerson isn't 30 yet, so he could continue to play on a high level for a team that has a strong locker room.

I would love to see Grady and a draft pick to help on the interior.

What defensive scheme will we be running next year? 4-3, 3-4 ??
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

Remember, there's no reason any FA is required to pick Cleveland even if we offer an appropriate value. People seem to forget that on this board..
We offered more cash to Schwartz than KC but he still chose to leave.. and people viewed that as a failure of the FO even though there was nothing they could do..
Each of the FA come with questions.
Wilkerson doesn't care about football.. Pierce is basically Snacks Harrison v2.0 .. Can Irving be injury-free.. The others will be tagged

They're not converting myles to.a full.time standup olb'er.....otherwise u can just trade him now cause he's off to dallas as soon as his rookie contract is up. Seeing as he's the best player on the def, im gonna predict we stay in a base 43.

Cmon man! That was years ago! Before the 1 win in 2 years. Sounds like Schwartz had some sense at the time.

Schwartz wanted to stay here, but the front office in charge at the time low-balled him and refused to budge... by the time they did, Schwartz basically told them to go piss up a rope. Trust me, Doug Dieken brings this up on the regular.

Some of the biggest names:
Jeffery Simmons, DT, MIssissippi State
Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama
Dre’Mont Jones, DL, Ohio State
Jerry Tillery, DL, Notre Dame
Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
Rashan Gary, DL, Michigan
I've only watched a handful of games on each if these guys, but this is how I see them as of today.
Simmons, Brown, and Oliver are top notch prospects.
Williams, Tillery, and Jones have special talent but need work.
Wilkins, Lawerence, and Davis feel like they benefited from the other talent on their lines. They feel more like rotational/role players.
I think Gary is a DE/ edge rusher

We'd franchise him before we let that happen. But I also agree we are likely to stay 4-3.

Could play all over. Weak side end in a over front, interior, base end. He's another player you have to move around a bit for maximum effectiveness.

Is it fair to say that the apparent strength of this draft coincides with one of the Browns biggest needs?

And the draft capital to get the one they want.

How can anyone know....since we won't know who our DC will be? If they do not keep Williams as HC...then everything is up in the air.
Fair to say?

Another Michifucker without a true position to play? Can't we get a real player?

Saw a few tweets relative to this thread. Edge rushers aren’t going anywhere of course but thought it was interesting nonetheless
