Cleveland Browns Podcast: The Wide Receiver vs Left Tackle Debate
In this episode we dive deep into the debate of what position should the Browns use their top pick on.
The biggest debate among Cleveland Browns fans on social media is what they should do with their first pick, whether they stay at sixth overall or trade back. For the most part, it is narrowed down to left tackle or wide receiver, both of which are positions the team desperately needs help with. Of course, some want to take the best player available, even if it is on defense, but most of the debate centers on tackle versus wide receiver.
Should the Browns draft a wide receiver or left tackle? The wide receiver class isn't very top-heavy, and there are some questions about two of the top guys, Jordyn Tyson and Makai Lemon, but overall , it is loaded with talent. With offensive tackle, there are two left tackles worth a top 50 pick, and there isn't a lot of depth at the position that can play early in their career or have the upside to be a long-term answer.
The Browns have brought mostly wide receivers so far on their pre-draft Top 30 visits, so it's clear to some extent that they are doing a lot of homework on trying to find some answers for that room.
