CLEVELAND (WJW)– We’re less than two weeks away from the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Cleveland Browns have the 26th overall pick. It’s the lowest, outside of years where they traded, since 1995.

Here’s a look back at the Browns first-round selections since 2010:

2020: 10th overall: Jedrick Wills, offensive tackle, Alabama

Wills was one of the top-rated offensive tackles in a draft class deep at the position. He immediately stepped into a starting role on the offensive line, making the switch from right to left tackle.

2019: None

2018: 1st overall: Baker Mayfield, quarterback, Oklahoma

Baker is already on his third head coach with the Cleveland Browns. He won the starting job and the hearts of fans with his “gets us” demeaner. He led the Browns to their first playoff win since Jan. 1. 1995.

4th overall: Denzel Ward, cornerback, Ohio State

Despite concussions and COVID-19, Ward is one of the most consistent members of the Browns secondary. He was voted to the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

22nd overall: Johnny Manziel, quarterback, Texas A&M

Where to begin with Johnny Football? To call the former Heisman Trophy winner’s stint in Cleveland tumultuous would be an understatement. He started his first game as a rookie, but wasn’t named the starting QB until the following year.

There was also a not-so-secret trip to Las Vegas and allegations he assaulted his then-girlfriend. The Browns released him in 2016. He played in the Canadian Football League, the Alliance of American Football and Fan Controlled Football.

He played with the Raiders and the Ravens before moving to the Canadian Football League. Recently, he signed with the Caudillos de Chihuahua of Mexico of the Futbol Americano de Mexico.
