Cleveland Browns NFL Draft Profile

How the Browns draft: the front office running the board, the needs shaping the next class, and every draft class we cover.

Compiled by the NFL Mock Draft Simulator research desk · Front office: Andrew Berry (GM), Todd Monken (HC)

Front office and philosophy

General manager: Andrew Berry  ·  Head coach: Todd Monken

Analytics-heavy, BPA-leaning operation that wants to build a modern passing offense around a healthy offensive line. Monken's system requires an agile, intelligent OL and dynamic playmakers. Berry cross-checks traditional scouting with performance analytics.

Andrew Berry is among the most analytically-driven GMs in the league, using algorithmic models to supplement traditional scouting. He values versatility and athleticism. Todd Monken's offense is predicated on a clean pocket and explosive vertical threats. The Browns have chronic OL instability that Berry continues to address.

These tendencies are encoded directly into the simulator: when you run a mock and the Browns are on the clock, the engine applies this regime's positional biases and its balance between best-player-available and need-based drafting. See how the simulator works for the full methodology.
