The Cleveland Browns own six picks in the 2024 NFL draft, and only two in the first 150.
The Browns dealt their first- and fourth-round picks this year as part of the Deshaun Watson trade. Consequently, their first selection comes in the second round, at No. 54 overall. They pick at No. 85 with their third-rounder, then not again until Round 5 (156th overall).
They also traded their fifth- and sixth-round picks to the Denver Broncos on March 13 to acquire wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.
After making their first postseason appearance since 2020 last season, Cleveland opted for no splashy moves in free agency and concentrated on re-signing a few of their own. Will it be enough to a return to the playoffs?

Top three needs: WR, RB, DT. The Browns still need to get younger and more dynamic at the offensive skill positions. Wide receiver Amari Cooper will turn 30 this summer and is entering the final year of his contract. Running back Nick Chubb is coming off a pair of knee surgeries that could prevent him from being ready for the start of the season; his contract also expires after this season. The Browns took a swing on wideout Jerry Jeudy, a 24-year-old former first-round pick. But they probably need to take another pass-catcher in the draft. -- Jake Trotter
