The Cleveland Browns had more than their share of problems on defense during the 2016 season.
Under former defensive coordinator Ray Horton, the Browns finished:
- 31st in the NFL in touchdown passes allowed with 36
- 30th in points per game at 28.2
- 30th in sacks with 26
- 31st against the run at 142.7 yards per game
- 28th in average run per carry at 4.6
Cleveland started the process of fixing the defense earlier this offseason when they replaced Horton with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
The Browns will have ample opportunities to continue the process during the 2017 NFL Draft as they currently hold the No.
