Cleveland's No. 4 Pick Generating Trade Buzz

Apr 26, 2018 10:36 AM

The Cleveland Browns aren't expected to move the first overall pick, but they also have the No. 4 selection on Thursday night.

Cleveland has engaged in "a lot of conversations" about the fourth pick, according to sources.

The fourth slot will be important to how the draft plays out. That's where quarterback-needy teams would need to target in order to get ahead of the Denver Broncos (fifth), who could choose a passer.

Browns 'Definitely' Considering Baker Mayfield At No. 1

Apr 24, 2018 9:11 AM

The Cleveland Browns are "definitely" considering selecting Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick in the draft.

The Browns own the first and fourth picks in the draft.

Josh Allen, Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen are also being considered by the Browns.

John Dorsey referred to Mayfield as a "pleasant fella" during his Thursday news conference.

"The only thing I care about is, do guys win?" Dorsey said. "Does he have accuracy? Does he have a strong arm? Can he throw the ball in the red zone in tight windows? Can he drive the ball? At the end of the game, does he win? That's what I look for."

Browns Have Discussed Drafting Two QBs In Top-4

Apr 19, 2018 1:11 PM

The Cleveland Browns have considered, discussed and investigated the possibility of selecting two quarterbacks with their pair of top-4 picks.

The Browns have long struggled to draft a franchise quarterback, so selecting two could essentially double their odds of getting the decision right.

The members of the Browns' front office that spoke about the scenario also outlined the downside of the strategy with the lack of practice reps and the inability to trade a rookie midseason due to a clause in the CBA.

The Browns still have $68 million in cap space and hold five selections in the top-64.
