Another option Easterling mentioned was acquiring another second-round selection, potentially to nab an offensive lineman or a running back.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_s0xmrlnyp\">Easterling also proposed that the Browns\u2014who own a million and one sixth-rounders\u2014could potentially land a fifth-round pick, where you can actually land some good value (there should actually be some good receivers and halfbacks still available there).<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3mqxq6hkf\">Finally, Easterling suggested that Cleveland could trade one of cornerback Greg Newsome II or defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo, both of whom are entering the final years of their respective contracts and probably won&#8217;t be re-signed next March.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_d3xsqz12i\">There are a bevy of routes for the Browns to explore this week, and given all of the holes they have up and down their roster, it would strongly benefit them to consider each option.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_f2eloqf2h\">We&#8217;ll see what Cleveland decides to do.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_f2eloqf2h\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_4800,h_2700,x_747,y_341\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/251\/01jshzmtt1b94fa23vaq.jpg\" alt=\"Cleveland Sports News and Fan Community -
