If you thought some kind of consensus would emerge at this stage of the pre-draft process, you're out of luck.
Analysts all across the Internet continue to be divided about not just the players, but also the position the Browns could address with the No. 26 pick. This week's roundup sums up that point as much as any.
Two positions that have been popular picks — DE and LB — remain that way, but one — CB — has completely vanished. It is, perhaps, a byproduct of the recent positive buzz surrounding the top cornerbacks in this year's class, four of whom are being routinely projected to come off the board before the Browns are on the clock.
And then there's a brand new position included in this week's roundup, one we've yet to see pretty much anywhere since we started this exercise.
The good news: The guessing ends in just 22 days.
The best news: The announcement to end that suspense will take place in CLEVELAND.
Enjoy the Roundup!
