The Browns will open the 2018 NFL Draft with two picks among the top five selections, including the No. 1 overall pick, after a disappointing 0-16 season.
Which quarterback will they pick from a coveted group including UCLA’s Josh Rosen, USC’s Sam Darnold, Wyoming’s Josh Allen and Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield? Nobody seems to know yet, but we’ll find out with the first round set for Thursday night at AT&T Stadium.
The Browns also have the No. 4 overall pick thanks to last year’s trade with the Texans. Houston wanted to trade up to pick quarterback DeShaun Watson, so it traded the 25th overall pick and its 2018 first-round pick to move up to No. 12. It’s proven to be a high price, although Watson lived up to his end of the bargain with a stellar rookie season.
The other big trade in the top 10 saw the Jets pay the Colts a massive price in order to move up three spots. In exchange for the No. 3 overall pick, which New York is expected to use one of the quarterbacks not taken by the Browns, Indianapolis received the No. 6, No. 37 and No. 49 overall picks in this year’s draft, plus the Jets’ second-round selection in 2019.
The Bills will be another team to watch with two first-round picks Thursday. Buffalo moved up to No. 12 by trading offensive lineman Cordy Glenn to Cincinnati, and it also has the No. 22 pick thanks to last year’s draft day trade with the Chiefs.
Here’s the complete order entering the 2018 NFL Draft. Starting with the second round, the overall order number for each pick is shown in parentheses. This post is updated to reflect draft day trades.
