USAT: Browns Wire

There are a variety of goals when it comes to NFL mock drafts. Late in the process, the goal is about accuracy primarily. Mock drafters hope to get exact matches of players to teams or, at least, match positions to teams. - Prior to that, at least for this site, there are three goals: - - Process roster building for the Cleveland Browns related to the draft. ‘What could be?’ - Introduce different players to the readers - Enjoy exploring the ‘what ifs’ - - Today’s mock draft is a little of the second two with a small portion of the first. Earlier this week, we shared data showing that a vast majority of the last 10 Super Bowl participants have excelled on offense, specifically passing offense. While the Browns could look to the alternate route for 2022, that data might be compelling to them about how they spend their resources. - An all offense draft is highly unlikely for a variety of reasons for Cleveland. The first is that the team currently is slated to have nine picks. The second is that the team has some important needs on the defensive line. The third is pigeonholing themselves into only drafting offense is just not smart. - Unlike our Mock Offseason 1.0, which had free agency as well as a mock draft, today we just bring you a mock draft. - All that said, we still went with an all offense Browns mock draft today. Knowing that was the plan going in really opened up the options starting with the first pick. For today’s mock, we used Pro Football Network’s mock draft simulator.
