Berry drafted for need rather than potential. He barely reached, and not a single pick was a head-scratcher.

It leaves the biggest question fans are asking from now until the season begins. Where do the Browns stand against their AFC North rivals?

Cincinnati got their potential quarterback of the future in Joe Burrow and landed a fantastic receiver in Tee Higgins.

Baltimore’s draft was deep, and quality matched quantity. Patrick Queen, J.K. Dobbins, and Malik Harrison are just three of the Ravens’ ten picks that jump out.

Pittsburgh traded their first-round pick in 2020 for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick early in the 2019 season. Fitzpatrick brought flashbacks of the Troy Polamalu era. The Steelers drafted a huge target in Chase Claypool from Notre Dame and he figures to contribute early at receiver.

As for the Browns, they drafted their franchise left tackle in Jedrick Wills. They followed the Wills pick with Jim Thorpe Award winner Grant Delpit in the second round. In the fourth round, they snagged John Mackey Award winner Harrison Bryant.

So, did the Browns do enough this offseason to catch the Steelers and Ravens to close the gap in the AFC North?
