There are advantages to finishing with the worst record in the NFL, which the Cleveland Browns did for the second consecutive year under head coach Hue Jackson this season.
The biggest one is that the Browns earned the right to select No. 1 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Browns have that secured — unless general manager John Dorsey decides to trade it away. (And wouldn’t that just be so much fun?)
The other perk, although less tangible from a benefit standpoint, is that the coaching staff is in the running to lead one of the team’s in the annual Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
