DeForest Buckner. 8. player. 53. . Defensive Line. Oregon

Hue Jackson, in my opinion, is the right guy to begin turning things around in Cleveland. Yes, he’s an offensive guy, but to grab a player like Buckner to anchor your defensive line is a no-brainer. His versatility allows him to line up at tackle or end, giving defensive coordinator Ray Horton a unique tool to use.

Cleveland has been the occupant of the AFC North basement virtually every year since their return. Buckner is a great start to solidify the trenches on the defensive line and build around for the foreseeable future. No sense in reaching for a quarterback here when there isn’t one worth taking. Finally, the Browns make the smart, right decision and go best player available.
