What to do with DE Chase Winovich with the Jadeveon Clowney signing

2 HRS AGO - Suddenly, the defensive end room became very crowded If you were a student in 2019 in the West Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania school district, then you already know that newly-acquired DE Chase Winovich is a great guy. Because he paid off your school lunch debt in full.
It seems that during the Christmas break in Winovich’s rookie year with the New England Patriots, he was looking for a way to give back to his high school, Thomas Jefferson High School located in Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania. That idea became something bigger when he included the entire school district and paid off all the debt for the area’s free and reduced lunch programs.
You see, he already had the Santa in him. Seems that he played Santa Claus back in his fifth grade class’ holiday show.
The Browns traded for the talented EDGE rushing defender this off-season to play defensive end or maybe even linebacker. In March, Cleveland LB Mack Wilson was shipped off to the New England Patriots straight up for Winovich.

None of these can play American Football. Alex Wright of the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) can.
Wright is one of the newest Browns taken in the third round of this year’s NFL draft. Cleveland had three picks in Round 3 and took Wright with their second choice in this round at pick #78. The good news for Wright is that there is currently an opening on the defensive line at left defensive end.
It just so happens, he plays that position. All he has to do is win the job.

Browns added to the receiver room in the draft Cleveland went all out this year to improve their receiver corps.
Gone was Odell Beckham, Jr. during the 2021 season. Jarvis Landry’s lack of production (570 yards) plus the thought of paying him $16.6 million next year found him cut instead. Rashard Higgins was mainly unused during the year with just 275 yards and was allowed to sign elsewhere in free agency now with Carolina. JoJo Natson was hurt more than he played and signed with Detroit.
Donovan Peoples-Jones was no longer a rookie and was expected to play more while the team had drafted two rookie receivers in Demetric Felton and Anthony Schwartz along with other guys who saw the practice squad including Ja’Marcus Bradley, Lawrence Cager and Ryan Switzer.

The Browns need someone who will go across the middle To say that Cleveland was in need of some new receiver help is not news to anyone in the AFC North. Before the Deshaun Watson trade, the Browns were earmarked to take a blue-chipper with their 13th pick in the first round.
Instead, GM Andrew Berry packaged that pick in the trade. He then traded down from the #44 slot in the second round and suddenly had three picks in Round 3. With their final pick in this round at #99, Cleveland took WR David Bell of Purdue.
Going into 2022, the offense was suddenly without a slot guy with OBJ gone and to some degree Jarvis Landry. Last year’s rookie Anthony Schwartz’s place on this offense is still up in the air, but slot is certainly a possibility. The outside positions are set with Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones. That leaves the slot for the taking.
Bell could very well be that player.

Defensive tackle could challenge for significant playing time this fall, according to NFL.com’s Chad Reuter. Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry made six selections on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft, adding at least two players that should see considerable playing time this fall.
The most obvious of those is kicker Cade York, who was basically handed the job when the Browns released kickers Chase McLaughlin and Chris Blewitt just two days after the draft ended.
The other player is defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, who quickly became a fan favorite for the enthusiasm he displayed during his first post-draft interview.
