The purpose of this article is to take an in depth look a the 2017 Cleveland Browns Draft. The positions they may have hit on. The positions they may need to still address and what their future might hold.
Last season Cleveland completely re-did their lineup, with the promise of building through the draft. It was a rough season and Browns fans were left with some hope but wanting more. Cleveland got off to an 0 and 14 start on the season and fans were fearful that they may complete the perfect season 0 and 16. With a huge win over San Diego in week fifteen, the Browns gave their fans some promise for the year ahead.
In a draft that was void of top talent at quarterback, the Browns needed to find a way to address that need without reaching. With a conservative yet smart approach they may have done just that.
One question still remains, can a team void of a polished quarterback win games or will they be in this position next year? With the upside of Deshone Kizer being the big story in the pre-season will the Browns front office give Coach Jackson time to develop him?
