Browns First Selections
This is the all-time list of the franchise's first selections in the NFL draft. Keep in mind that in some years, multiple frist rounders were taken, but only the first one taken is listed. Also keep in mind that the Browns didn't have a first round pick. In these years, the second round pick is listed. Please help me with the Overall Selection category. If you know what they are for any of these players, please click on the double question mark (??) in that field. It will take you to the missing information submission form. I will be happy to give you a credit and a link! Thanks!
