Round 1 – Pick 1 – QB Jameis Winston
Round 1 – Pick 2 – DE Leonard Williams
Round 1 – Pick 3 – OLB Dante Fowler
Round 1 – Pick 4 – WR Kevin White
Round 1 – Pick 5 – QB Marcus Mariota
Round 1 – Pick 6 – DE Shane Ray
Round 1 – Pick 7 – WR Amari Cooper
Round 1 – Pick 8 – OL Brandon Scherff
Round 1 – Pick 9 – CB Trae Waynes
Round 1 – Pick 10 – WR DeVante Parker
Round 1 – Pick 11 – DE Randy Gregory
Round 1 – Pick 12 – NG Danny In the right scheme, Shelton's combination of a stout body in the run game to go along with athleticism as a pass rusher could make him an eventual centerpiece of a defense. In Cleveland, the 339-pound Shelton not only could start right away but also have the potential to overhaul the Browns' defensive line.
Round 1 – Pick 13 – OLB Vic Beasley
Round 1 – Pick 14 – CB Jaelen Collins
Round 1 – Pick 15 – RB Melvin Gordon
Round 1 – Pick 16 – WR Jaelen Strong
Round 1 – Pick 17 – OL Andrus Peat
Round 1 – Pick 18 – DL Eddie Goldman
Round 1 – Pick 19 – OLB Bud Dupree Thus far into free agency, the Browns have yet to fill the void Jabaal Sheard left at outside linebacker. Enter Dupree, and then some. Perhaps no pass rusher in the draft has the former Kentucky Wildcat's combination of size (6-foot-4, 269 pounds) and speed (4.54 seconds in the 40-yard dash). Coach Mike Pettine said the team will place a premium on making the defense a dominate unit. Dupree coupled with Shelton put Pettine's beliefs into action.
Round 1 – Pick 20 – SS Landon Collins

During the frantic debut of the Cleveland Browns' brand new jerseys, the league released a list of prospects who will attend the NFL Draft next week in Chicago.
For the first time in recent memory, there won't be a quarterback in the building to hear his name called. Florida State's Jameis Winston and Oregon's Marcus Mariota will both watch the proceedings with their respective families in Alabama and Hawaii.
But there are still 26 future professionals who will don their sharpest suit and brightest smile for their chance to shake Commissioner Roger Goodell's hand before embarking on their wildest journey to date.
Running backs
*Todd Gurley (Georgia)
Melvin Gordon (Wisconsin)
*Browns angle: ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. had the Browns choosing Gurley in his latest mock draft with the 19th pick. If Gurley hadn't torn his ACL last season, many believe he would've been a slam-dunk top-10 pick – even given the recent draft history of running backs. *
Wide receivers
*Kevin White (West Virginia)
DeVante Parker (Louisville)
Breshad Perriman (Central Florida)
Jaelen Strong (Arizona State)
Devin Smith (Ohio State)
Browns angle: *Parker has consistently been one of the most linked players to Cleveland in mock drafts. The 6-foot-3 Parker will immediately challenge for a starting position no matter which NFL building he lands. *
Offensive linemen
*Brandon Scherff (Iowa)
La'el Collins (LSU)
Andrus Peat (Stanford)
D.J. Humphries (Florida)
Cameron Erving (Florida State)
Laken Tomlinson (Duke)
*Browns angle: Offensive line may not seem like a glaring need, but the Browns have established they'll be taking the best players available. If someone like Collins is there at 19, general manager Ray Farmer may have to weigh that option. *
Defensive linemen
*Leonard Williams (Southern Cal)
Danny Shelton (Washington)
Arik Armstead (Oregon)
*Browns angle: Shelton's statistical production in college (93 tackles, nine sacks) at the defensive tackle position is a rarity. In the right system, Shelton has the playmaking potential to be the centerpiece of the defensive scheme. *
Pass rushers
*Dante Fowler Jr. (Florida)
Vic Beasley (Clemson)
Shane Ray (Missouri)
Randy Gregory (Nebraska)
Alvin "Bud" Dupree (Kentucky)
*Browns angle: Following a month of free agency in which the wide receiver and defensive line positions were addressed, pass rushing, perhaps, rises to the top of Cleveland's wish list. And there's arguably not a stronger positional group in this draft than pass rushers. *
Inside linebackers
Benardrick McKinney (Mississippi State)
*Browns angle: Karlos Dansby, Craig Robertson and Chris Kirksey make up a top flight group of tacklers – among the most underrated in the AFC. Still, as we saw with Dansby's knee injury last season, this is a unit that could use even more depth and flexibility. *
Cornerbacks
Trae Waynes (Michigan State)
Kevin Johnson (Wake Forest)
Byron Jones (Connecticut)
*Browns angle: A year after adding Justin Gilbert, Pierre Desir, K'Waun Williams and Robert Nelson as rookies, it would be simple to guess the Browns aren't in the market for a cornerback early in the draft. But then again – this is the draft. Nothing is impossible. *
Safeties
Landon Collins (Alabama)
Browns angle: Cleveland joined Seattle as the only two NFL teams to boast multiple starting safeties in the Pro Bowl. Donte Whitner plays ferociously near the line of scrimmage, while Tashaun Gipson plays ball-hawking centerfield, intercepting six passes in just 11 games (knee injury). It'd be perceived as a stunner if Collins received a phone call from Farmer and coach Mike Pettine.
