Cleveland Browns

1st Round, No. 1 overall- Myles Garrett, Edge, Texas A&M

1st Round, No. 9 overall (via Phi)- Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

2nd Round, No. 33 overall- DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson

2nd Round, No. 53 overall (via Tenn)- Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

The Browns are loaded with picks in the first two rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft. They have a great opportunity to really change the fortune of the franchise. This mock draft gives them two immediate contributors in Myles Garrett and Leonard Fournette.

More from With the First Pick

Garrett is a dynamic pass rusher who is the best player in this draft class. He combines his excellent athleticism with a non-stop motor and natural feel for the game. Fournette is an every-down back who will take pressure off of whoever is lining up under center.

DeShaun Watson gives the team a quarterback with a ton of upside. He’s stock has fallen after his inconsistencies this past year, but the raw talent still remains. Hue Jackson has proven in the past he has the ability to develop an offense to help his quarterback.

Gareon Conley is a talented defensive back who could step right in as a starter. He’d give the Browns some depth at the position should they want to explore a trade of Joe Haden.
