Cleveland Browns 2017 Mock Draft: Complete Seven Rounds
With eleven picks the Cleveland Browns have the chance to acquire a lot of talent in this draft and build for the future.
This year, the Cleveland Browns embark on the second season of what has been one of the most highly scrutinized building plans in the history of the NFL. Using analytics as the driving force behind player accusation. Hiring Paul DePodesta, one of the architects of baseball’s Moneyball game plan, the Browns hope to change the game.
Every Browns fan has seen the ever so popular Jersey, the fan jersey with the names of the twenty five quarterbacks that have tried and failed to lead the team since 1999. With names like Quinn, Weeden, Couch and even Manziel all first-round picks that at the end of the day just could not get it done. With this years draft being dubbed a developmental year for quarterbacks the Browns are again plagued with the question, do we reach for a signal caller or do we take best player available.
Cleveland has missed on more picks in the last few drafts than most care to count. With the need for a quarterback glaring, the Browns find themselves once again trying to find their franchise signal caller.
With only days to go and eleven picks, most NFL execs are asking the same question, what are the Browns planning? I fully expect quite a few trades as their chess match unfolds, but here is my six round (they don’t have a seventh), Browns draft to give you a little insight on what they might do.
