The Cleveland Browns are in a good position when it comes to the draft, as general manager Andrew Berry has two selections in the first round at the ready, along with high selections in Round 2 (No. 39 overall) and Round 3 (No. 70 overall).
Those will come in handy as Berry still needs to add a left tackle, a wide receiver (or two), along with some other pieces to the roster. The biggest hole, of course, is at the quarterback position, but this may not be the year to scratch that particular itch with a selection in the first few rounds of the draft.
That is next month’s problem, so let’s open up the final Sunday in March with the latest edition of the Sunday Dawg Chow.
