The beauty of all NFL Mock Draft posts is that no one really knows what is going to happen. We may have some ideas of what we think might happen but every year many of our expectations, especially after the Top 5 are proven wrong. Players get drafted higher than expected and we call it a reach. Players get drafted lower than expected and we call it a steal.

Today we will have at least two 4 Round NFL Mock Draft posts for you. Earlier today we gave you what I (New Window), Jared Mueller, would do if I were drafting for the Cleveland Browns. I did not use FanSpeak, though I really enjoy having that tool at our disposal, but just looked at what I think could happen and where I would select players. I will give options, since I can already hear “that is a reach” and “NO WAY he falls that far” coming from some of you.

This NFL Mock Draft is what we think the Browns will do, given all the information we have. We will use what we know GM Ray Farmer and HC Mike Pettine value, have done in the past, what they seemed focused on in Free Agency and needs we believe they see to make our decisions.

Based on all of that we believe the Browns would likely select Marcus Mariota if he would fall to them in the 1st round, or with a small trade up. We think they will continue to focus on their defense as well as prepare for the future with their picks. While most don’t think signing Dwayne Bowe and Brian Hartline takes them out of the running for an early WR, we think it will help break ties in their War Room.

I look forward to your feedback and thoughts in the comment section or on social media.

Given all that here we go:
