The Cleveland Browns will be on the clock when the 2016 NFL Draft opens tonight. Here is how you can watch all the action.
Today is the day that NFL fans – especially those of the Cleveland Browns – have been waiting for all off-season. After months of speculation and rumors about the interest their team has in certain prospects, we will finally have all of our questions answered.
At 8 p.m. ET, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will walk onto the stage of the historic Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago. Once Goodell arrives at the podium, he will announce that the Los Angeles Rams are on the clock and the fun will begin.
The Cleveland Browns hold 12 picks, the most of any team, in this year’s draft and will be selecting tonight at No. 8. But after trading down once already, the Browns are rumored to be interested in making another move, so when they will actually make a selection tonight remains to be seen.
