Browns draft four defensive players to revitalize aging unit
The Browns selected four defensive players in the opening rounds including outside linebacker Clifford Charlton at 21, defensive lineman Michael Dean Perry in round two, Indiana linebacker Van Waiters in round three, and Winston-Salem State cornerback Anthony Blaylock in round four. Coach Marty Schottenheimer said the move aims to future-proof a defense growing older. Charlton, a two-year starter at Florida, posted 25 career sacks and could shift Mike Junkin to inside linebacker.
