Browns: Top 5 defensive line targets in the 2018 NFL Draft

Myles Garrett, Larry Ogunjobi, Danny Shelton, and Emmanuel Ogbah. This Cleveland Browns starting defensive line is already one of the team’s strongest points.

Starting in 2015 with Danny Shelton, the Browns put a heavy focus on their frontmost line of defense. The line took shape as Emmanuel Ogbah and Parma, Ohio native Jamie Meder were added to the mix. Myles Garrett with the first overall pick in 2017 just made sense.

The Browns went from one of the worst run defenses in 2016 to one of the best in 2017, almost from their defensive line alone. Gregg Williams’s 4-3 base defense made rushing attacks hellish for opposing offensive coaches.
