Browns Eye Safety Upgrades, Target Taaffe

0:00It's April 5th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. The Cleveland Browns are eyeing upgrades at safety after some uncertainty in the secondary. Starter Grand Delpid is a reliable vet holding it down, but his partner Ronnie Hickman is a restricted free agent who could bounce. The team slapped a right of first refusal tender on him to ward off suitors, so his future is up in the air. Meanwhile, they're banking on debt pieces like Donovan McMillan, who's a special team's ace with some defensive flashes, much like Hickman, who was. Also undrafted and scrappy. Safety's coach, Efri Ambanda, loves instinctive, versatile backs who can play multiple spots, and that's exactly the vibe with their fifth round draft. Target, Michael Taff from Texas. Tafe checks in at 6 feet, 189 pounds, with a 4.540 time. For 53 college games, he racked up 222 tackles, 7 picks, 3 sex, and solid coverage skills.

If the Browns nag him at pick 149, he could slide right into the mix next to Delpid and stabilize things, keeping an eye on how this. Foundary shapes up this offseason.
