The Cleveland Browns have one of the best defenses in the game. They just hired Mike Rutenberg as their next defensive coordinator, partly because he runs schemes similar to Jim Schwartz's and can keep the defense intact.

However, his background as a player development-type guy has people speculating whether the Browns will be tempted to take a generational talent like Caleb Downs with the No. 6 overall pick. He's an elite talent, but the Browns don't need another safety.

Considering that, Spencer German of Locked on Browns show floated the idea of making the most of Caleb Downs without actually taking him.
