The Browns are now all but certain to earn the No. 1 overall pick -- the ESPN live probabilities gave them a 99 percent chance to do so following the 4 p.m. ET games -- after they blew a 14-point lead against the Packers and the 49ers beat the Texans on Sunday.
But the 49ers' win helped the Browns in another way as well: since Cleveland owns the Texans' first-round pick, that selection is now projected to improve since Houston lost a winnable game. Houston now has the sixth-best average draft slot, though it is worth noting that their average draft position is over seven.
