Team Needs

Offensive Tackle

Despite the signing of offensive tackle Jack Conklin, the Browns still desperately need help along the offensive line. They should have their pick of two of the three top tackles in the first round and you have to assume this is the direction they will go. In fact, the Browns might draft multiple offensive linemen to hedge their bets.

Safety

The Browns are pretty shorthanded at safety and did nothing to truly address it in free agency. So don’t be shocked if they use a day two pick on one of the more athletic guys in what is turning out to be a very deep safety group.

Linebacker

The loss of Joe Schobert left a big hole in the middle of the Browns defense and the absence of his production will be missed. There are several middle round prospects who have been highly productive college players despite not having overwhelming athletic traits who could fill a similar role with the Browns.

Top Targets

Tristin Wirfs | OT | Iowa

Mekhi Becton | OT | Louisville

Grant Delpit | S | LSU

Antoine Winfield, Jr. | S | Minnesota

Logan Wilson | LB | Wyoming

Complete Cleveland Browns 2020 NFL Draft pick order

The Browns have seven picks but don’t pick in every round

With the announcement of all the compensatory picks earlier this week, we now know the draft slot for each and every pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns, who received no comp picks as expected, hold seven picks in April’s draft in Las Vegas.

Cleveland does not have a pick in every round, however. The Browns traded away their fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills as part of the package to acquire guard Wyatt Teller.

The extra pick comes in the third round. Cleveland gets Houston’s compensatory pick, No. 97 overall, from the trade that sent RB Duke Johnson to the Texans.

Interestingly, the Browns hold picks in the final two rounds that don’t originally belong to them. Cleveland’s sixth-round pick is Arizona’s from the Jamar Taylor trade and is one slot above the Browns’ own. That pick conveyed to the Bills in the Teller trade. The seventh-rounder is swapped with Green Bay pick in that round from the trade involving OL Justin McCray.

First round: No. 10 overall
Second round: No. 41
Third round: No. 74
Third round: No. 97
Fourth round: No. 115
Fifth round: None
Sixth round: No. 187
Seventh round: No. 244
