As the Cleveland Browns revamped their roster after an 0-16 season, these five debuts should be the most anticipated in 2018.

There’s only one way for the Cleveland Browns to go after an 0-16 season, and that’s up.

From a big picture perspective, the organization appears to be on the right tack, as ownership hired John Dorsey to call the shots regarding football operations.

And as is the case with a new boss, an influx of new players has found its way to Berea through free agency and last spring’s NFL Draft.

The Browns haven’t been to playoffs since the 2002 season. Fans have had little to be optimistic about since then, but at least for the first time since 2014, there’s something for Clevelanders to look forward to as the organization embarks on a new campaign.

With so many new additions, it was hard to pick the top five debuts to look for. After all, the Browns had the No. 1 pick in the draft, selection Baker Mayfield.

There’s a lot of new faces, some higher profile than the others, but the debut of these five players should be highly anticipated by card carrying members of the Dawg Pound.
