The Cleveland Browns swung and missed on defensive tackles Javon Hargrave and Dre’Mont Jones on the opening day of NFL free agency. They did land a pass rusher in Ogbonnia Okoronkwo to upgrade their defensive end room and struck a deal with Dalvin Tomlinson late at night to make a massive upgrade to their interior.
Given their cap space and the lack of talent currently in their defensive tackle room, adding multiple mid-level contracts rather than one big-named player may just be the better plan of attack. Here are the best available defensive tackles still on the board as the Browns look to regroup.
