If the season ended today, the Browns are primed for two top 10 picks, and four picks within the top 50. In other words, they can not, repeat CAN NOT mess up this opportunity to jumpstart their franchise. An infusion of young, top tier talent is exactly what this franchise needs.

With a plethora of defensive talent, the Browns can seriously shore up that porous defense. Their offense is littered with young, controllable skill position talent, but their offensive line is so poor they can’t keep a quarterback healthy for more than a few weeks.

This is the opportunity, with 11 projected picks, and eight confirmed picks, that the Browns can use to build some depth, add some talent to a talentless roster, and finish creating their young core of players for development. If they want to win the draft, this is a look at how they can do it with their eleven selections.

With needs at seemingly every position, there really isn’t a way they can fail in this draft, except for one, overvaluing the quarterback position. They can’t afford to waste the top pick on an unknown guy in a weaker class, they must avoid falling into the trap to ensure their foundation for the future is set.
