Daily Dawg Tags: Bowl watch is in full force
Spanning the virtual globe to bring you the latest news about the Cleveland Browns and the NFL – these are your Daily Dawg Tags for Thursday, Dec. 29.
It was nice to see the Cleveland Browns pick up a win last weekend, but it did nothing to change the fact that the team is still at the bottom of the NFL. Celebrating a single victory illustrates that point.
Another bad year means another chance to turn things around by drafting well, which is something the team has been unable to do since seemingly forever.
Final draft position is not even set, but that does not mean fans cannot start predicting who the Browns will select. Countless conversations, mostly arguments, will be held over the coming months about players who could help the Browns win more than just one game.
With bowl season in full force, now is a perfect time to begin the process of arguing for and against drafting a certain player. Some top prospects have decided to sit out for the final game of their college careers, but many others are still playing in that final game.
One game does not completely determine future potential, but it is a great chance for fans to get a look at some players who could end up on the Browns next season. Let’s take a look at this topic and others in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
