As we head into Wildcard Weekend, the first 20 picks in the 2018 NFL Draft are set, so why not see what the first round might look like next April.

The 17 week NFL regular season has come to a close, which means the first 20 selection in next April’s 2018 NFL Draft are set. The Cleveland Browns matched the Detroit Lions record for futility this season, becoming only the second team in NFL history to go winless in a full 16-game season. The Browns will pick with the first overall pick in the draft, and thanks to a trade with the Houston Texans during the 2017 NFL Draft, they will also pick fourth.

The playoffs are set, and with each round, the final 12 spots in the 2018 NFL Draft will become clear. For now, lets take a look at what the first round might look like, and we will kick it off with the Browns picking their latest franchise quarterback.

1. player. 53. . Quarterback. UCLA. Josh Rosen

The Cleveland Browns joined the Detroit Lions as the only NFL  teams to go through a full 16-game NFL season and not win a single game. That is quite a terrible season, and for their valiant effort, they will receive the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. With that pick, the Browns are almost guaranteed to select a quarterback, and Josh Rosen should be the top pick overall.

Rosen is entering the NFL Draft, though he may not be happy if the Browns decide to take him No. 1 overall. The UCLA Bruin has said that he would rather be picked later and go to the right team, than get selected earlier by the wrong team. Regardless, if he comes out, he is fair game, and the Browns definitely need a franchise quarterback.

New general manager John Dorsey has to get the first round right, as his Browns select twice in the first four picks. This could be looked at as the draft that turned the franchise around, though the odds are the Browns will find a way to bumble this one as well. Dorsey helped build a winner in Kansas City, and the City of Cleveland is hoping he can do the same with their beloved Browns.
