Outside of the trade for WR Jerry Jeudy, LB Jordan Hicks was the lone new starter added to the roster. Hicks is likely to take the place of LB Anthony Walker Jr. but the Browns also lost LB Sione Takitaki in free agency. LB ..read more

Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images His off-field contributions are front and center One thing that immediately happened when the Cleveland Browns hired Jim Schwartz as their new defensive coordinator: they set out to find players to stop the run. Under former DC Joe Woods, offenses ran all over them. Right off during free agency, the franchise signed DT Dalvin Tomlinson. Three days later, DT Maurice Hurst was signed. The Browns already had Jordan Elliott, Ben Stille, Roderick Perry, Perrion Winfrey, Tommy Togiai, and Michael Dwumfour. Trysten Hill was also signed as a free agent while Siaki ..read more

Photo by Mark Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images It is draft week, so mock drafts aplenty Generally speaking, fans of the NFL fall into two camps when it comes to NFL draft coverage: Never enough Too much, way way way too much For the second group, that is especially true with NFL mock drafts as everyone now produces them, with the help of multiple mock draft simulators, and the flood of information can be overwhelming. For the first group, everything in the previous sentence is true except instead of “overwhelming” it is “awesome.” The Cleveland Browns hold six selections in the 2024 N ..read more

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images Mock drafts often focus on talent but following the money can be helpful as well Figuring out what the Cleveland Browns will do in the 2024 NFL draft is darn near impossible. Not only are the Browns at the whims of all the teams selecting before them at pick #54 but GM Andrew Berry doesn’t have an immediate need that jumps off the page. Not only has that led to mock drafts with names all over the place (including Jack’s final version Monday morning) but it has also led to a wide variety of prospect profiles (including RB Jaylen Wright on Mo ..read more

Xavier Legette, Theo Johnson join Browns offense in this mock draft It’s been a long process but we’re finally here and just days away from the 2024 NFL Draft and while we have to wait an extra day before the Cleveland Browns make their first selection, it’s an exciting time to be a fan of the NFL. Going through hundreds of draft picks, watching games, analyzing athletic testing, team fits, and countless mock draft simulators has been fun and yet a grind trying to figure out who will be the best players to potentially join the Cle ..read more

Photo by Bryan Lynn/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Wright would bring elite speed and playmaking potential to Cleveland’s backfield The Cleveland Browns are heading into the 2024 NFL Draft with a plethora of positions in mind, and running back is most likely one of them due to Nick Chubb’s injury situation. Andrew Berry did a good job addressing the running back position in free agency with the signings of D’Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines to 1-year deals. Though they should both be able to carve out specific roles in the offense going forward, they’re not the type of players that should deter ..read more

Photo by Perry Knotts/Getty Images Jack Conklin rumors could pick up if he proves to be healthy The NFL draft is right around the corner. The sad reality is that not every team is going to get their needs met during the draft. Some teams will see players they wanted snatched out right in front of them while others will decide to focus on best player available over team needs. For the Cleveland Browns, a decision between “now or later” this year will be interesting with their six draft picks. The team only has two in the first four rounds which limits their options. The Browns could also find ..read more
