Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images With the NFL draft a day away, Newsome’s name remains in the rumor mill The NFL draft is officially just a day away. For the Cleveland Browns, it is two days away with it being highly unlikely that GM Andrew Berry will be able to trade into the first round. The Browns roster is pretty full at this point so trading up is a possibility but there are no starting positions available at this point in time. One way a starting role could open up is if Berry trades CB Greg Newsome II. Cleveland reportedly had discussions about trading Newsome near the start of free a ..read more

Each week during the regular season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team. During the offseason, we also send out questions every now and then about other big events, such as the 2024 NFL Draft. Many teams asked their fans about hypothetical first-round moves or specific players the team might select, but with Cleveland still waiting until Day 2 for their first pick, we asked which position Browns fan ..read more

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images The AFC North could get more interesting if Tee Higgins or Trey Hendrickson get their wishes For every team in the NFL, the path to the playoffs starts with their division. Not only must teams and fans pay attention to their own rosters but figure out what they need to do to get home-field advantage at least in the first round of the playoffs by winning their division. For teams in the AFC North, that goal is much more difficult than a lot of divisions. The Cleveland Browns have finally entered the conversation the last few years while the Baltimore Ravens ..read more

Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images Costs are skyrocketing and teams want the public to chip in The relationship between pro sports teams and the cities that they play in is an intimate one. For the city of Cleveland and the Cleveland Browns, that connection is much deeper. The Browns were once stolen from the great fanbase and the people of Cleveland and the fans of the Browns made sure the name, colors and records remained in Northeast Ohio. Unfortunately, sports are also big business, especially the NFL. The conversations about Cleveland Browns Stadium have gone all over the place in the las ..read more

Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images Round 3: Cornerback group is the strength of the defense The cornerback group last season was a position of strength for Cleveland Browns DC Jim Schwartz’s defense. So, why would this room need another player? Well, an exceptional cornerback is always welcome on every NFL club’s roster. This group’s resident Pro Bowler is Denzel Ward. On the other side is M.J. Emerson who grabbed the starting outside corner gig in his rookie season and has Pro Bowl aspirations on his own. Also in the Browns defensive backfield is Greg Newsome, a former first-round draft pic ..read more

Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images Could Franklin be the downfield threat that Cleveland’s been searching for? The Cleveland Browns are heading into the 2024 NFL Draft with multiple position groups in mind and wide receiver is most likely one of their main focuses early on. Cleveland acquired Jerry Jeudy in a trade from the Denver Broncos in March, which bolstered the floor of the team’s receiver room in a big way. Aside from that move, not much has been done to improve the weapons around Deshaun Watson. This leads many to believe that they’re setting their sights on the NFL D ..read more

Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images There are always exceptions but rookies are not playing a lot quickly anymore The NFL draft is just a couple of days away but 2024 rookies, as a class, are likely at least a year away from really producing on the field. While media and fans are drawn to the CJ Stroud and Puka Nacua rookies who take the world by storm, far more often first-year players are at least a year away from contributing significantly even as first-round picks. For the Cleveland Browns, first-round picks haven’t been a concern for a few seasons. Neither have second-r ..read more

Photo by Mark Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images Browns drafts have been near the consensus board The internet and social media has been a problem in a lot of ways but, when it comes to sports media, they have their positives. For decades, people passionate about sports had very few opportunities to turn those passions into income, careers or communities. Now, fans have turned into analysts then analysts into full-time (or at least supplemental income-based) sports media members. Covering the NFL draft has become a field in itself. Bridging the gap between college football and the NFL lev ..read more
