As frustrating as the current season is with the Cleveland Browns, the 2018 NFL Draft may provide the solutions to the team’s biggest problems and put it all together.

The Cleveland Browns have gotten off to a terrible start, losing their first six games. It’s incredibly frustrating for fans, media and especially those on the team. Having said that, as painful as it is in the moment, the team’s plan does appear to be on track and this partly is going to try to explain why.

It’s only October and plenty will change in the next six months, so players are going to be rated too high, too low and everything else, but it doesn’t hurt to start getting an idea of some of the talent that could be available in the 2018 NFL Draft and how the Browns could take advantage of it to vault their team forward.

One thing worth pointing out right off the bat is the Browns should probably be in the market to trade up or trade out of 2018 with some picks. The Browns currently stand at 12 picks and it’s not easy to use them all right now, so the Browns will likely try to emphasize quality even if they’re always planning for quantity in the future.

The 2018 draft has the potential to really finish building the Browns, preparing them to compete for years. They obviously have to get themselves a quarterback, but outside of that, they simply need more weapons and to round out their secondary. If they can do that, the current struggles will have been worth it.
