Danny Shelton

Cleveland trading Shelton and a fifth-round pick to New England for a third last year seems like one of the more underrated moves Bill Belichick made recently. At 6-2, 345, the 2015 first-rounder fits the mold of a run-stuffing nose tackle, and his presence played a role in the Patriots' historic 2019 defense. While the two-year, $8 million Shelton signed with Detroit might not fully reflect how well he plays his particular role, his price may have been driven down by the fact that Shelton's stature and capabilities are not a fit in every system. That shouldn't be a problem in Detroit, though. As Damon Harrison's replacement, Shelton could push for 65-70 tackles if he stays healthy. Before picking up numerous injuries in 2019, Harrison racked up 50 tackles in 10 games during the 2018 season - an 80-tackle pace over 16 outings.

Shelton enters his third NFL season and is expected to be Cleveland’s starting defensive tackle. He took big strides in year two, and with help from Myles Garrett, the 23 year old should be even better in 2017, especially in stopping the run.

The Browns' first-round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, Shelton appeared consistently overweight throughout the entirety of the 2015 season and played on just 48 percent of the team's defensive snaps. However, he showed up to training camp in significantly better shape, and is poised to improve on his 36 tackle, zero sack rookie-year performance. Nonetheless, Shelton remains firmly off the IDP radar.

Shelton is expected to serve as the starting nose tackle in defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil's 3-4 scheme. He's known primarily for his run-stopping ability, so if he ends up getting replaced on passing downs, it risks limiting his value as an IDP. He did manage nine sacks in his senior season at Washington, however, but it remains to be seen if that capability will translate to the NFL.
