CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns General Manager John Dorsey continues adding experience to his staff in the lead-up to the 2018 NFL Draft. Former Washington GM Scott McCloughan is joining the team as a personnel consultant in order to assist during the draft, a league source confirmed for cleveland.com

The move was first reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

McCloughan served as Redskins' GM for two seasons in 2015 and 2016 and was fired last March. McCloughan also served as GM of the 49ers for two seasons in 2014 and 2015.

Dorsey and McCloughan both worked for the Packers in the '90s.

The Browns are entering perhaps the most important draft in recent franchise history as they work to dig out from an 0-16 season and 1-31 record over the last two seasons. They hold the No. 1 and No. 4 pick and three second round picks as well as the top pick in the third round.

McCloughan, for what it's worth, had high praise for Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield.

"He reminds me of a shorter version of Brett Favre," he said in an interview on the Doug Gottlieb show last fall."

"He's very confident. He's not afraid whatsoever," McCloughan said. "He's a battler. And I now saying Brett Favre's a big name, and I was around him for a while, but this guy's got talent."
