The Browns finished 3rd in the AFC North with an 11-5 record. They made the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and recorded their first playoff win since the 1994 season.
Despite their banner season, the Browns will need to bolster several positions:
Defensive End - Outside of star player Myles Garrett, Browns' DE production falls off. Oliver Vernon missed the playoffs with a ruptured Achilles and also hits free agency this offseason
Linebacker - time to upgrade at the positions as 5 LBs hit free agency
Cornerback - Denzel Ward is a lock when healthy but the Browns' need depth at the position
