The NFL draft is seven rounds long. While that may seem like a simple statement, most tend to focus on the first round and very little else. It is no wonder the movie “Draft Day” acted as if only that round mattered, some fans and media act as such.
The importance of that round is significant, obviously, but not the only way for a team to improve or address their needs.
For the Cleveland Browns, the focus has been on the 13th pick and the wide receiver position. While the defensive line could also be the pick, many have honed in on getting weapons for Kevin Stefanski and Baker Mayfield in the passing game in the first round.
