4. player. 53. . Running Back. Penn State. Saquon Barkley

The Browns have already solved their quarterbacking concerns with their first pick. Now’s the time to go about finding additional offensive weapons.

Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is easily the best non-quarterback offensive player in this year’s NFL Draft. Heck, one might argue he’s a safer pick than any of the signal-callers anyway, especially for teams looking for a true game changer.

Those kinds of players are exactly what the talent-lacking Browns need right now.

Barkley would be able to come into the league right away and take pressure off Tyrod Taylor and, eventually, Sam Darnold. In turn, Cleveland’s once-anemic offense would actually gain some respectability in 2018.
