Team Needs

Offensive Tackle

Despite the Cleveland Browns signing right tackle Jack Conklin, the Browns still that the left tackle that can protect quarterback Baker Mayfield’s blindspot. With the Browns picking at 10th overall, they should be able to choose one of the top four offensive tackles in this draft class. I could see the Cleveland Browns taking another tackle in the later rounds just be safe.

Safety

The Cleveland Browns are pretty shorthanded when it comes to safety. The Browns signed a few older players that are one-year contracts but they did not address the safety position for the future, something that the Browns need to do in the draft. I could see the Browns using a day two pick on more of a free safety than a strong safety.

Linebacker

The Cleveland Browns lost Joe Schobert due to free agency this offseason, he signed to the Jacksonville Jaguars on a four-year deal. With the Browns having multiple third-round picks, I could see them trying to make a trade, and trade back up into the second round to grab one of those stud linebackers.
