If broken records were Browns draft picks, the city of Cleveland might already have a Super Bowl championship. As it is, the Browns are (we’ve heard this before) embarking a critically important offseason of free agency and, of course, the broken-record tale of equally important draft picks. Here’s the breakdown of the Browns’ allotment of draft picks: • First round (No. 2 overall) • Second round (No. 33 overall) • Third (No. 67 overall) Cleveland also has an additional third-round pick from the Bills, its own pick in Rounds 4, a pick from the Lions in Round 5 and two picks from the Dolphins and Vikings in the sixth round. The order of those picks will be finalized after the Super Bowl. The Browns are reportedly expected to be awarded two compensatory picks in Round 6 for the free-agent losses of Joe Flacco and Jordan Elliott, plus a supplementary pick that’s likely to be in the last round. Who General Manager Andrew Berry zeroes in on in the early rounds will shape the franchise, good or bad, for years to come. This doesn’t appear to be a strong year to draft a quarterback, but nothing is a guarantee at that position. A Hall of Famer QB could emerge or the entire lot could be a bust. It’s the most volatile position to predict in professional sports. Still, expect the Browns at some point to select a QB, be it Cam Ward of the Miami Hurricanes, Will Howard of the national champion Ohio State Buckeyes or another name. If the Browns are looking at a complete rebuild heading into the 2025 season, a youth movement wouldn’t be out of the question. Here are four superstar players even the most casual college football fan should recognize the Browns should target in the early rounds of the draft: Travis Hunter, Colorado >> If the Titans or another team take a QB at No. 1 overall, the Browns should be ready at No. 2 to quickly print the name “Travis Hunter” on their card and hand it in. The chance to take a generational talent who’s as unique as Hunter doesn’t happen often. Imagine the possibilities with Hunter, who at Colorado last season won the Heisman as a two-way wide receiver and defensive back. As a receiver, he caught 96 balls for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns. As a lockdown corner, he intercepted four passes and batted away 11 others. If Hunter is there at No. 2 overall, Berry needs to write himself a post-it note (ala Sonny Weaver as the fictional Browns GM in the film “Draft Day”) that reads, “Travis Hunter no matter what.” Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe holds up the MVP trophy after the SEC championship game Dec. 2, 2023 in Atlanta. (Mike Stewart – The Associated Press) Jalen Milroe, Alabama >> Per usual with draft build-up and hype, there will be QBs whose stock fluctuates in all sorts of directions. Milroe could end up as the most polarizing QB prospect of this draft. Some projections have him as a high first-round pick, others don’t have him going in Round 1. The Browns at No. 33 (should they not take a QB at No. 2) could be considering their QB options at that point. If Milroe is there, he would be a tempting choice for two reasons. No. 1, he’s mega-talented with a big arm, size and exceptional running ability (he ran for more than 700 yards and 20 TDs last fall). No. 2, he likely would be groomed as an heir-apparent to whoever is playing QB for the Browns in 2025 not named Deshaun Watson. Not having to play immediately could be huge in Milroe’s development. Milroe — who will compete at next week’s Senior Bowl — isn’t the most accurate thrower, so working on that would take time to develop. But he could be worth the wait.

Terrill – The Associated Press) Jack Sawyer, Ohio State >> The last time we saw Sawyer, he was running untouched for a scoop and score against Texas in the College Football Playoff, then celebrating Ohio State’s national championship game victory over Notre Dame. A big edge rusher who plays with power and passion, Sawyer could move into the end of Round 1, but Rounds 2 or 3 seem more realistic, which could make the 6-foot-5, 260-pounder an interesting option for the Browns. He was productive this season with 59 tackles, nine sacks, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and an interception.

(LM Otero – The Associated Press) Cam Skattebo, Arizona State >> Final impressions can be priceless, and in the case of Skattebo, there arguably wasn’t a better one than ASU’s tough-as-they-come running back during the CFP. Against Texas in an overtime loss in the quarterfinal round, Skattebo rushed for 184 yards on 30 attempts and scored two touchdowns, a two-point conversion and threw a TD pass. He also caught eight passes for 99 yards. For the season, he rushed for 1,711 yards and 21 TDs. Skattebo is 5-11, 215 pounds and a bruising back who’s tough to tackle. The big concern will obviously be Skattebo’s 40-yard dash time. He’s expected to be a third-round pick. For Browns fans, Skattebo could be the second coming of Peyton Hillis, whose breakout season with Cleveland in 2010 included 1,117 yards, 11 TDs and then a subsequent cover appearance on the next season’s Madden video game.
