Daily Dawg Tags: What to look forward to in 2017
Spanning the virtual globe to bring you the latest news about the Cleveland Browns and the NFL – these are your Daily Dawg Tags for Tuesday, Dec. 13.
The passing of another day brings Cleveland Browns fans another day closer to an 0-16 season. There are still three chances to pick up a win, but 2017 could get off to a horrible start if the Browns lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers on New Year’s Day to go winless.
Being a Browns fan means always being optimistic to what next year may hold, and that remains true after this miserable season.
The NFL Draft once again holds countless possibilities for the Browns, who may own two top-10 picks depending on how the Philadelphia Eagles finish the season. In fact, the Draft will determine the mood heading into next season, as the current team hasn’t given fans much to be happy about. A year of experience will help this young team, but it is clear that there are still so many pieces missing.
This includes a quarterback, with the likelihood of the Browns drafting one becoming even greater after seeing Robert Griffin III’s performance Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. There is no clear top prospect as of right now, but the Browns have plenty of time to scout and, hopefully, pick the best quarterback available.
It is unfortunate that Draft talk has returned before the season has come to an end, but that is a painful part of being a Browns fan. Let’s take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
