32. Cleveland Browns

Originally, the Cleveland Browns were hoping to see Hue Jackson be the answer at head coach, and while he deserves more time to prove himself, the new era certainly didn’t get off to a great start. The fact that it took the Browns until Week 16 against the San Diego Chargers to record their first win of the year shows how rough 2016 was for Jackson and company.

The good news for Cleveland is thanks to their trade with the Philadelphia Eagles last year, the team will have two picks in the first round in the upcoming draft, which could work wonders if they use the selections to their advantage. It may be unfair to judge Robert Griffin III off one season since he only appeared in five games, but the Browns should strongly consider drafting a rookie to build the franchise around.

Quarterback has been a major concern for too long with this team, and if they’re going to have any chance of finally moving up from the basement in the AFC North, they issue needs to be addressed. On a positive note, at least Terrelle Pryor seems capable of continuing to handle the responsibilities as a top wide receiver for Cleveland.
