The last time the Cleveland Browns had the top overall pick in the NFL draft, QB Baker Mayfield was the somewhat surprise selection. Mayfield helped Cleveland fans unlock the beer fridges and helped the Browns return to the playoffs a few years later.
The 2024 season is trending similarly to the 2017 season except Cleveland was able to pull off a victory already. Currently, the Browns are tied with five other teams with just one victory this season. Two of those teams had their bye weeks this week meaning they are a half-game better than the other four in the race for the worst record in the NFL.
