Browns can finally move past Deshaun Watson trade at NFL draft

• In 2020, Cleveland traded first-round draft picks in 2022, 2023 and 2024, as well as a 2022 fourth-round pick, a 2023 third-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick to the Houston Texans for Watson.
• Without a first-round pick this year, the Browns will either have to trade up for a top prospect or get creative with their other six picks.

Zoom in: The Browns won't make their first pick until Friday. They have the No. 54, 85, 156, 206, 227 and 243 picks.

• Cleveland will probably prioritize defense and could look to a player like Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. or Michigan's Kris Jenkins if they're available in the second round.

Zoom out: The first round will be all about quarterbacks — USC's Caleb Williams, LSU's Jayden Daniels and North Carolina's Drake Maye are expected to be the top three picks.

• Ohio State star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. could go as high as fourth.

What's next: Barring another trade, the Browns will have a first-round pick again in 2025.

How to watch: The draft will air live Thursday at 8pm on ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network.
