Marvin Austin is a Possibility for Cleveland Browns Despite Issues
The Cleveland Browns will not be able to grab Marcell Dareus with their top pick in the draft, so they will be using their day two picks to find someone that can start on the line alongside Ahtyba Rubin.
One player that is tossed around occasionally and dismissed just as often is Marvin Austin. He's a big guy who has a strong presence in the middle, and he would immediately make the Browns' defensive line better.
The problem with Austin is the baggage that he has. He was suspended all of last season, and has a rather bad attitude. I'm not convinced that the Browns are a team that would be able to handle that type of attitude, especially with all the changes they have had.
Austin is also a bit on the short side at just under 6'2, so I don't know how well he can carry a 300-pound frame. He has the talent, but combined with the attitude and conditioning issues I see, I don't see him as a top 40 pick.
