The Cleveland Browns swung and missed on defensive tackles Javon Hargrave and Dre’Mont Jones on the opening day of NFL free agency. They did land a pass rusher in Ogbonnia Okoronkwo to upgrade their defensive end room and struck a deal with Dalvin Tomlinson late at night to make a massive upgrade to their interior.
Given their cap space and the lack of talent currently in their defensive tackle room, adding multiple mid-level contracts rather than one big-named player may just be the better plan of attack. Here are the best available defensive tackles still on the board as the Browns look to regroup.

Matt Ioannidis
A'Shawn Robinson
