The Cleveland Browns must nail the 2017 NFL Draft if they don’t want to be in serious trouble. Here’s an updated draft order for them.
The Cleveland Browns have been rebuilding for quite some time. In 2017, they face the best opportunity to add a lot of talent that they have in a while. Through trades, the Browns have accumulated 11 draft picks, the most of any NFL team. It’s a good thing they have a lot of draft picks because they need a lot of talent.
Five of Cleveland’s top picks are in the the top 75. They have multiple picks in each of the first two rounds. This gives the Browns a unique opportunity. Their strategy for the draft is unknown because they have so many options. Do the Browns trade up to get a franchise quarterback? Maybe they trade down and get more picks? Will they trade up for anyone? Cleveland is in a position to add talent and it should be fun to see how they do it.
