To get this out of the way early in the article, it was tough to title this one as I have a fundamental disagreement with the idea that the NFL draft and team needs have much to do with one another. The failure to plan ahead or waiting/hoping that a player that fills the hole in your roster falls in the draft is just bad planning.
NFL free agency, and planning ahead in previous NFL drafts, is where needs should be filled. The current NFL draft should be about the best players and future needs.
For the Cleveland Browns, this is especially true without a first-round selection and just five picks in the 2024 draft.
