The 2016 NFL season is entering Week 14, and the Cleveland Browns are still searching for their first win. Here is our 2017 NFL Mock Draft entering Week 14.

The Cleveland Browns had a bye in Week 13, avoiding a loss for the first time all season, but are still slated to draft first in the 2017 NFL Draft. Picks No. 21 through 32 reflect the playoff seeding if the season ended today, beginning with the lowest seeds.

Here is our latest mock draft with the draft order based on record, and using strength of schedule as a tiebreaker.

The Cleveland Browns did not lose a game this weekend, but that was only because they had their bye week. After 13 weeks of the NFL season, the Browns are in line to pick first in next April’s draft, and are on pace to be one of only two teams to ever finish a season without a win. With that said, they have some glaring holes on their roster, and they actually end up trading this pick away for a couple more draft picks.

If the Browns do hold onto the first overall selection, we like them to go defense, and defensive lineman Jonathan Allen is the best defensive player in this draft. While Myles Garrett of Texas A&M would also be a nice grab, Allen is currently the better of the two prospects. Cleveland needs to be strong up front if they want to climb out of the cellar in the AFC North, and Allen would be a nice starting point.

Allen has played on some great teams during his time at Alabama, and he should play for a second consecutive national title this season. He has the size and speed to play all along the defensive line, and could be used in different schemes if need be. Whether or not the Browns hang onto this pick, Allen should be the first player selected, and Cleveland desperately needs some star power on its defensive line.
