LSU. Jamal Adams. 11. player. 53. . S

While Joe Haden is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, the rest of the secondary struggles mightily against the pass, and their safety play has been atrocious. The LSU Tigers have a man patrolling that position that will make an impact during his rookie season in 2017, and the Browns should look to select him if he is still available at No. 11. Jamal Adams is the most complete safety in this draft, and possesses the skill set that will make him one of the better players at his position at the next level.

The best part about Adams is that he excels in both areas of his game, as he is great in coverage, and coming up and playing the run. He hits with incredible force, and is the kind of safety that can give wide receivers alligator arms when they go across the middle. Cleveland has a ton of holes, but getting two very good defensive players in the first round may be just what they need to kick-start the franchise.
