The Browns needed some young infusion of talent along the defensive line this year. Then GM Andrew Berry drafted DE Alex Wright of UAB in the third round, Oklahoma DT Winfrey Perrion in the fourth, and DE Isaiah Thomas in Round 7.
In addition, undrafted free agents signed were DT Glen Logan of LSU and Illinois DT Roderick Perry. Plus, DT Taven Bryan was signed during free agency who is just 26 years old.
All of these new guys are vying for playing time in the defensive end rotation along with seasoned veterans Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney.
