Over the last few months, the Browns have made it clear they intend to build through the draft.
And with 10 picks — including the second and 32nd selections — Cleveland will have plenty of chances to potentially add depth to the roster.
NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein on Thursday put together a list of potential steals in this year's class.
And after further review, here's some of those prospects that could be options for the Browns.
Scooby Wright, Arizona, LB
Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright took the college football world by storm in 2014 when he won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Award and Chuck Bednarik Award. He also finished ninth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
It was well deserved; Wright amassed a whopping 163 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 14 sacks and six forced fumbles. NFL.com's draft analysis of Wright described him as a "one-man wrecking crew," which would seem accurate.
So why might he be considered a steal?
After an ultra-productive sophomore season, Wright played in just three games as a junior because of injuries and appeared to fall off some draft radard. Nor was the linebacker particularly impressive at the combine, and a 4.9-second 40-yard dash didn't help either.
Charone Peake, Clemson, WR
Hue Jackson last week said he'd like to see the Browns bolster the wide receiver position with bigger, faster talent, and Charone Peake could be an option in doing so.
At 6-foot-2 and 209 pounds, Peake would appear to have an unusual blend of size and speed, clocking a 4.37-second 40-yard dash at Clemson's Pro Day earlier this month. Peake came to the Tigers as one of the nation's most-sought after recruits but played in the shadows of stars like Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins and Martavis Bryant during his tenure.
Hampered by knee injuries and an ACL tear in 2013 that forced him to take a medical redshirt, Peake seemed to live up to his potential two years later in 2015, catching 50 passes for 716 yards and five touchdowns.
Tyler Higbee, Western Kentucky, TE
While Higbee didn't get an invite to the combine, the tight end from Western Kentucky has been crawling up draft boards.
At 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, Higbee — a former receiver — has the size and speed to play the position. He's also proven he can be productive, catching 38 passes for 563 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
While he's still recovering from a knee surgery in December and filling into a wide frame, Higbee could present the Browns a chance to add depth to tight end and complement Pro Bowler Gary Barnidge.
Farrington Huguenin, Kentucky, DL
With Ray Horton's return to Cleveland, the Browns will continue to run a 3-4 defense that's predicated on getting after the quarterback.
Huguenin, who played in such a defensive scheme with the Wildcats, could provide depth to a defensive line looking for more depth. Huguenin clocked a 4.8-second 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, according to NFL.com, and notched 97 tackles in 27 games at Kentucky. His potential downside, however, is a lack of experience at the position — Huguenin was a one-year starter in Lexington.
