The 2021 NFL Draft will take place in Cleveland next April. That much we know already. But when will the hometown Browns be making their first selection?
The early projections believe the Browns will just miss out on the playoffs and wind up picking in the 15-20 overall range. Our brother site Draft Wire, using the odds to win Super Bowl LV, has the Browns earning the No. 16 overall selection.
That’s in line with The Draft Network, which projected the Browns to take Minnesota WR Rashod Bateman with the No. 15 overall pick in a mock draft released the day after the 2020 NFL Draft ended. They also used current Super Bowl odds at the time.
