CB Joe Haden has been the cornerstone of the Browns defense for years, but his recent decline has made him a liability. Cleveland might be looking to the draft for a solution.

  • Haden was tied for sixth in the NFL for most touchdowns given up (six) last season.
  • Haden also allowed the 12th-most yards per coverage snap at 1.48.
  • 10 missed tackles in 2016 were the highest total in his career.
  • One potential draft option is LSU’s Tre’Davious White, who allowed just 26 receptions from 61 passes thrown into his coverage.
