The Cleveland Browns have a realistic path to Super Bowl LVII, with current odds at +4000. Here's what they need to do to become contenders:

Current Resources:

  • $24 million in cap space
  • Complete draft picks for first 6 rounds
  • Additional 4th round pick from Lions
  • 7th round pick swap option with Lions

Key Strategic Moves:

  1. Wide Receiver Overhaul
  • Trade Jarvis Landry ($16M cap hit) for potential Day 2 draft pick
  • Target free agents Allen Robinson or Mike Williams
  • Build receiving corps with Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz
  • Draft an impact receiver with 13th overall pick (Chris Olave recommended)
  1. Kicking Improvement
  • Replace Chase McLaughlin (71.4% field goal percentage, 4-10 from 40-49 yards)
  • Consider drafting LSU's Cade York or signing veteran kicker
  • Reliable kicking crucial for playoff-caliber team
  1. Roster Development
  • Maximize Baker Mayfield's final rookie contract year
  • Continue strong running game with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt
  • Focus on defensive improvements, particularly at cornerback
  • Consider Jadeveon Clowney reunion

The Browns have a strong foundation and favorable 2022 schedule. With these improvements and a healthy roster, they could compete effectively in the tough AFC North against the Bengals, Ravens, and Steelers.
