Cleveland Browns continue to do their homework on draft prospects ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft at the end of the month.
One interesting name has come about that is visiting the Browns. A source shared with A to Z Sports that Cleveland has met with Texas DT T’Vondre Sweat as a top-30 visit.
Sweat is quite the prospect and is going to go in the early rounds of the draft, but does he make sense for the Browns?
Cleveland should stay away from drafting T’Vondre Sweat
Cleveland spent a third-round pick on Siaki Ika last season. The 335-pound run stuffer didn’t have much of an impact at all as a rookie because of the adjustment period for defensive tackles, especially those of his build.
It could seem repetitive for the Browns to draft another defensive tackle with poor athletic scores. At 6-foot-4 and 366 pounds, the poor conditioning shows up for Sweat late in games and that is a worry. We may be talking about a player that ends up playing just early downs depending on how he develops. There would be risk with any team selecting him and the Browns aren’t in a position to do it.
Cleveland would likely have to use their second-round pick and when you factor in they do not have a first, it makes hitting on the second that much more important. If the Browns want to go defensive tackle at that pick, I’d feel much more comfortable with Ohio State’s Mike Hall Jr. Or Florida State’s Braden Fiske.
With only five selections scheduled, the Browns can’t afford to be repetitive and that’s what selecting Sweat would be doing.
