Because we’d rather light a candle than curse Browns fans’ darkness, we’d like to offer some good news this morning.

If the season ended today, you’d have two top 10 picks in the 2017 NFL Draft, including the first overall. (Also, if the season ended today you wouldn’t have to watch any more Browns football this year. And people would wonder: “Why on Tuesday?”)

While the Browns’ 0-13 record has them firmly in the top spot at the moment, the latest Eagles’ loss which dropped them to 5-8 put them in the 10th spot in the order. And since that pick is heading Cleveland’s way after the Carson Wentz trade, there’s a potential bounty for the Browns.

At the moment, the 1-12 49ers would pick second, followed by the Jaguars (2-11) and Bears (3-10). The Titans would pick fifth, thanks to the 4-9-and-coachless Rams and the Jared Goff deal.

Spots six through 10 would be held by the Jets (4-9), Panthers (5-8), Chargers (5-8), Saints (5-8) and then that Eagles-to-the-Browns pick.

So think happy thoughts of the spring, Clevelanders, when hope will sprout up like the daffodils, and the world will be renewed. Right after you slog through an interminable winter and three more weeks of Browns games, of course.
