Browns GM John Dorsey inherited 12 picks in the 2018 draft from Sashi Brown. Through trades, that number has been reduced to nine, and a few of the latter positions have been reshuffled.
Unless there are more trades, Dorsey will enter his first Browns draft on April 26-28 with the following overall picks: Nos. 1, 4, 33, 35, 64, 114, 150, 175 and 188.
