The NFL Draft kicks off tonight at 8 with the Cleveland Browns holding an NFL-high 10 picks – including two in the first round.
This is the second year in a row, and the third in the past four, that the Browns will have two selections in the first round of the draft.
The Browns also have multiple picks in the fourth and sixth rounds.
“We’ll look at every possible way to upgrade every position,” head coach Mike Pettine told the team’s website. “We’re fortunate that we do have the draft picks that we have – two in the first round. That gives us some leverage and some options on some things that we can do, but we will be tasked as a coaching staff and as a personnel department to get creative and find how we can upgrade, not just quarterback, but every position.”
The Cleveland Browns have the following picks:
Round | Pick | Overall | Team | Notes |
1 | 12 | 12 | Cleveland | |
1 | 19 | 19 | Cleveland | from Buffalo |
2 | 11 | 43 | Cleveland | |
3 | 13 | 77 | Cleveland | |
4 | 12 | 111 | Cleveland | |
4 | 16 | 115 | Cleveland | from Buffalo |
5 | 11 | 147 | Cleveland | |
6 | 13 | 189 | Cleveland | |
