Cleveland Browns: Sione Takitaki could go from reach to steal

The Cleveland Browns spent the 2019 NFL Draft trying to beef up their defense. Last season, the Dawg Pound fell short in many a game due to a lack of defensive depth, and they were determined to rectify their biggest problem this offseason.

The Browns added LSU cornerback Greedy Williams in the second round at No. 46 overall, a consensus bargain pick. But, John Dorsey surprised fans with the No. 80 pick, selecting linebacker Sione Takitaki.

Takitaki had a troubled past, and while at BYU, was suspended multiple times. However, he was able to turn himself around with the help of his wife and became a team captain during his final year with the Cougars.
