It’s never easy having to sit out the first round, and really that feeling is incredibly new to Cleveland Browns fans. Over the past two seasons alone, Cleveland has made a total of five picks in the first round — and had the No. 1 overall selection in each of those campaigns.
Now in the 2019 NFL Draft, they had to sit back on Thursday night and watch things unfold thanks to them trading away the No. 17 pick in the Odell Beckham, Jr. deal. There were whispers that they might try to creep back into the first, and with general manager John Dorsey calling the shots, it would have been unsurprising to see him make a move.
