The Cleveland Browns are going to rebuild the team through a long-term process and that means getting players at key positions is needed to build the foundation.

The 2016 NFL Draft season is upon us! So far this offseason, it seems as if the Cleveland Browns’ front office and  coaching staff are both on the right track.

Hue Jackson will have a significant voice on roster decisions. However, Sashi Brown has the final say over the 53 man roster.

That said since Brown does not know the players as well as others in the football operations department, and combined with Jackson’s knowledge of the player and coaching background, Jackson should be the final decision maker during the draft.

Will that actually happen? Who knows and the team is highly unlikely to state their approach on how they will select players. One thing we do know is that the Cleveland Browns need a new quarterback and Jackson wants his own guy (hopefully, this time that player can be the face of the franchise for years to come).

Keep in mind projections in mock drafts are going to change based on the decisions the Cleveland Browns make in free agency and any cuts/releases/trades that are made.  Currently, the Browns have 10 draft picks, so it is hard seeing them finishing up with that many. Without further ado, let us kick off the Cleveland Browns’ mock draft season at FoS!
