Who will the Browns take with their two top-of-the-NFL Draft picks, at Nos. 1 and 4 overall, in 2½ weeks?

It’s the question that has been asked by all fans of the team for several months now, and will continue to be asked leading up to the draft’s opening night on April 26. More specifically, it’s been asked by fans of all the teams in the league, especially those clubs that are also at the top of the draft, and others that have their eyes on certain players and may want to trade up there to get them.

There are seemingly as many opinions as to what the Browns will end up doing, as there are stars in the sky.

That’s a lot, of course.

We have debated, are debating now and will keep debating all the various combinations, including – gulp! – trading out of one or – double-gulp!! – both picks.

We do it because we care – a lot. We do it because it’s important – very much so, in fact franchise-defining. And we do it because it’s fun – incredibly so. And who doesn’t want to have fun?

Doing this back-and-forth, getting passionate about our opinions, is what sports are all about.

And sports are what we’re all about – or at least mostly, anyway. There is that thing called the real world that happens, too.

Just sayin’.

We can rant and rave and pour out our hearts all we want, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter in the big picture what we do or say because we don’t have any control over what the Browns do.

As such, then, we have to rely on someone else to not just do it, but to get it right, and that someone is Browns General Manager John Dorsey. Oh, sure, he’ll get – and be glad to get – input from scouts, coaches and, most importantly, owner Jimmy Haslam, but after the dust clears from all that, it will be his – and only his – pick to make. The buck stops at his desk, as well it should. That – getting these top two picks as perfect as possible – is a big part of what he was brought in here to do.

Realizing that, I feel good. Dorsey has a great reputation in the NFL, especially – and most importantly – from the people in the know, those whose opinions should be valued. It doesn’t mean, certainly, that Dorsey will get it right – there are no guarantees – but it does mean that he has a great chance to do so, certainly a better chance than the man who preceded him, former Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown.

And really, that’s all we can ask.
