Browns eye Arizona S Genesis Smith for new single-high defense

Arizona safety Genesis Smith is being considered a potential key defender for the Cleveland Browns' new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg, particularly for a shift to more single-high safety looks. Smith is expected to perform "off the charts" at the NFL Scouting Combine, showcasing an unmatched ability to cover ground over the top. While one analyst ranks him 32nd overall, the Consensus Big Board places him at 93rd, with mock drafts projecting him anywhere from the 18th overall pick to the fourth round, making him a Day 2 target for Cleveland.
