The Cleveland Browns may have found some extra wins at the end of the season, but it was not enough to save them from a 5-12 campaign that ended with another last place finish in the AFC North and led to head coach Kevin Stefanski losing his job as the season ended.
The Browns will be looking toward the 2026 NFL Draft to find an opportunity to get back on track, a methodology that makes sense after GM Andrew Berry was heralded for a very strong 2025 NFL Draft class.
The Browns might be able to get up off the mat and start making some noise in the AFC North if they identify these five areas of need as critically important, and spend a ton of resources on trying to fix the problems.
