The Cleveland Browns set the NFL on fire during the 2016 NFL Draft by selecting 14 players during the course of the draft’s three days.
While that haul of players was impressive and may have helped the Browns lay the foundation for their latest rebuilding efforts, the 2017 NFL Draft is where the Browns may have the opportunity to truly transform the franchise.
The Browns currently are in possession of five picks in the first three rounds — two in the first round, a pair in the second round and one in the third round.
Augmenting those selections will be the team’s compensatory picks as, according to Over the Cap, the Browns should receiver four additional picks after losing Alex Mack, Mitchell Schwartz, Tashaun Gipson and Travis Benjamin in free agency.
