The Cleveland Browns have hired Scot McCloughan as a personnel consultant ahead of this year's draft. The Browns hired John Dorsey as general manager.

McCloughan was fired as general manager of Washington last offseason.

McCloughan is widely considered one of the best evaluators of talent in the NFL.

The Browns have 12 picks in the 2018 draft, which includes the No. 1 and No. 4 overall choices and five picks in the first two rounds.

Prior to joining the Browns, McCloughan openly praised Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield as the QB he would favor if he were choosing one for this draft.
