Though he was still preparing for the NFL draft in a different role, Ray Farmer was flying by the seat of his pants at this time last year.
In February 2014, Farmer was promoted by owner Jimmy Haslam to become the club’s general manager. In the whirlwind of three months that followed, Farmer was able to bolster the roster and the players he brought aboard helped improve the Browns’ win total by three games.
But now, with a full offseason of preparation, Farmer feels like he’s strapped his boots in the ground with a firm framework of how Cleveland operates in the NFL draft.
