Quarterback:

Deshaun Watson:

"The Cleveland Browns need a quarterback, and while it may take some maneuvering on draft day, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson could be the answer."

Patrick Mahomes:

"Suddenly, the Cleveland Browns are basically back to square one at the quarterback position. Could this year’s draft finally be the beginning of a long-term solution, in the form of Patrick Mahomes?"

Mitchell Trubisky:

"Since the Cleveland Browns came back into the NFL in 1999 they have been looking for a franchise quarterback. Could homegrown talent Mitchell Trubisky be the answer?"

DeShone Kizer:

"The Cleveland Browns continue their search for their franchise quarterback and DeShone Kizer appears to be a valid nominee if chosen in the 2017 NFL Draft."

Running Back:

Kareem Hunt:

"The Cleveland Browns could use another running back, and local product Kareem Hunt could be a player taken with a pick on the third day of the NFL Draft."

Curtis Samuel:

"The Cleveland Browns could look to upgrade the offense early in the NFL Draft, and a former Ohio State Buckeye could be an option."

Wide Receiver:

Corey Davis:

"The Cleveland Browns could use an upgrade at the wide receiver position, and Corey Davis is a player who could come in and help right away."

John Ross:

"The Cleveland Browns selected four wide receivers in 2016, though John Ross would seemingly fit well with the direction of this Browns offense."

Juju Smith-Schuster:

"The Cleveland Browns lost their number one wide receiver in free agency. Find out why Juju Smith-Schuster should be the guy to fill the void."

Tight End:

O.J. Howard:

"The tight end position is absolutely critical for the Cleveland Browns to fill before 2017. Is the solution as simple as picking the top ranked player of the position, O.J. Howard?"

Jake Butt:

"The Cleveland Browns should be in the market for a tight end upgrade. Can Michigan’s Jake Butt be the upgrade the Browns need? Find out here."

Jordan Leggett:

"Can the Cleveland Browns find the answer to one of the most important roles in head coach Hue Jackson’s offense? Clemson’s Jordan Leggett may hold the key."

Center:

Pat Elflein:

"The Cleveland Browns were awful at center last season. They have addressed the position in free agency. But what is the long-term solution?"
