Will the Browns embark on a teardown? Will Dorian Thompson-Robinson play again?: Takeaways

Will the Browns embark on a teardown? Will Dorian Thompson-Robinson play again?: Takeaways

CLEVELAND, Ohio — GM Andrew Berry assured fans during his bye week press conference Wednesday that a teardown of the Browns roster isn’t necessary to get back on the winning track.

The Browns, who are 2-7 at the bye, went 1-31 in 2016 and 2017 with Hue Jackson as head coach, ending up with the No. 1 pick in 2017 and No. 1 in 2018. They selected Myles Garrett and Baker Mayfield with those two picks, but have only one playoff victory in two appearances to show for it since then.

Even back then, the Browns didn’t necessarily mean to embark on a long rebuild as much as they wanted to stockpile draft picks.

“I’d say two things,” Berry said. “In terms of the long-term planning, again, that’s probably a better postseason discussion. I think one of the beauties of the NFL is it’s not like baseball, it’s not like basketball where, at times you may need these half decade long pivots or rebuilds.

“You see it every year with teams, just the margins are so thin and then honestly with just the way that our sport works with player procurement, it’s not like we’re drafting a 16-year-old kid who’s got to play eight years in the minors before he comes and produces or something along those lines. So I think generally you don’t necessarily have to see those pivots in our sport.”
