Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta explained that their approach to rebuilding the franchise is to accumulate more draft picks that will give them as many opportunities as possible to hit on players.
“We’ve looked ourselves in the mirror and said, ‘Do we think that we are actually superhuman when it comes to picking players?’ And we pretty easily answered that with a resounding no,” DePodesta tells Peter King. “So how are we going to increase our chances? We need to have more picks. So, if we have the same number of picks every year as everyone else, we don’t expect do better than anyone else.
