The NFL draft is not the next step in the offseason but it is the most discussed and, generally, most interesting part. Free agency and trades tend to have the biggest impact on the upcoming NFL season but for almost every team, their future is decided by what happens in the draft.
For the Cleveland Browns, free agency and the draft will play off of one another. Unlike in years past, GM Andrew Berry doesn’t have almost unlimited cap resources nor does he have a first-round selection. The Browns do have the ability to create a lot of cap space, if they want, and eight draft picks to impact their team.
