THE Cleveland Browns have a lot of needs with the NFL offseason on the horizon, with quarterback and offensive line being chief among them.

But while the Browns’ most pressing needs are undoubtedly on the offensive side of the ball, they could also use some help defensively.

Specifically, Cleveland could use some help in the trenches, especially after moving Za’Darius Smith at the trade deadline.

This is why Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler named the Browns as one of the top choices for Oregon Ducks defensive lineman Derrick Harmon in the NFL draft.

“While the numbers and underlying analytics don’t jump out like some of his other outings (watch his tape from Ohio State and Boise State), Derrick Harmon enjoyed another productive week for the Ducks , top-ranked,” Fowler wrote of Harmon’s performance against Maryland.

Harmon is one of the fastest players in Fowler’s draft, and considering how dominant he has looked all year long, it’s not hard to see why.

The 6-foot-5, 330-pound giant has accumulated 36 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three sacks, a few forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and four passes defensed in 2024.

Harmon began his college career at Michigan State and spent his first three seasons with the Spartans before transferring to Oregon after last year.

The Detroit native features a fierce Ducks defensive front that also includes defensive end Jordan Burch, who could end up being a Day 2 pick himself.

Now, it’s worth noting that Cleveland almost certainly wouldn’t select Harmon with a top-five pick, but if he’s available early in the second round, the Browns could jump on him.
