The Cleveland Browns hold two first round picks in the 2012 NFL draft, which means they have a lot of options. They can move up by packaging the two first round picks together or stay put and get two quality players. SB Nation's Browns blog, Dawgs By Nature, addressed the Browns needs entering Thursday's draft.
Browns NFL Draft Needs: All Eyes On The Offense
The Browns' top three needs all come on offense: wide receiver, right tackle, and running back. It might seem like a surprise that quarterback was left out of that list, but when the team lost out on Robert Griffin III in March, I don't think there is a burning desire for them to settle for a guy like Ryan Tannehill or Brandon Weeden. Instead, the team will focus on surrounding Colt McCoy with the best talent possible. Wide receiver has been a train wreck for this team; most of the players on their roster can't get open, and it's time to put a stop to that. The team has already stated that they will draft a starting right tackle after letting go of veteran Tony Pashos and not signing a big-name like Eric Winston in free agency. Running back moved up the priority list when the team chose not to re-sign Peyton Hillis after last year's bizarre season of events.
