Cleveland Browns

Draft Pick Range: 1-3 (7-15 from Eagles)

Needs: Plenty

OK, you saw it coming.

You know where the Browns are going to finish, so it was best to start with this team. We should at least get them out of the way quickly—just joking Browns fans. Jokes aside, the Browns do need quite a bit of help, but they are not completely void of talent.

Except for the spots they are; QB, OG, DE. It’s hard to send yet another QB to Cleveland, since it seems to be a place where that position goes to die, but they need to fill that spot. Ideally, with someone who is, at the very least, consistent.

That is a tall order these days, especially when you can’t keep a QB upright. For all of the Browns’ QB struggles, a fair amount of that blame can be put right on the offensive line. Which makes acquiring an OG or OT equally as important.

Lastly, picking up an edge-rusher in early rounds will pair nicely with the newly acquired Jamie Collins to keep this defense from being a liability.One thing to keep an eye on: look for the Browns to use one of those two first-round draft picks on an existing NFL player. Queue ominous music.
