The season has not even begun for the Cleveland Browns, but here is a way too early mock for the 2020 NFL Draft as the Dawg Pound has holes to fill.

Ever since general manager John Dorsey has taken over as the decision-maker of the Cleveland Browns roster, the Browns have seen a large infusion of talent that included the trades for Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry, Olivier Vernon and Damarious Randall; he has also signed significant contributors to the team in Sheldon Richardson, Greg Robinson and Terrance Mitchell. Can they add more talent during the 2020 NFL Draft?

While Dorsey does have a handful of draft misses thus far in his tenure in Cleveland with Austin Corbett, Chad Thomas and a few players the jury is still out on, he has also added Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb, Denzel Ward and Genard Avery, among others, in just two years with the team. What can he do in the upcoming draft in order to address a few needs moving forward for the brown and orange?

The biggest needs facing the Browns entering the 2020 offseason will be along the trenches, both offensively and defensively. Offensively, the Browns may need to replace both tackles while also searching for a solution at right guard; the team loves rookie Drew Forbes, who was just put on injured reserve, but holes still remain.

The defensive line, while it has talent with Richardson and Larry Ogunjobi, severely lack depth behind them as the Browns struck out on both Gerald McCoy and Mike Daniels this offseason. Jabrill Peppers was shipped out in the deal for Beckham Jr., and Randall is set to see a massive raise this offseason that the Browns have not yet agreed to, so both safety spots may be in need of replacing as well.

Before the Browns are set to being their highly anticipated 2019 season on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, here is a way too early 2020 mock draft for Cleveland. The draft order was established by reversing Super Bowl odds from Bovada.
