Power Ranking the Browns For Week 4
Let's rank the five most important people on the Browns before they head to Sin City
After a brief respite from the doom and gloom, the Browns are squarely back in the Sunken Place. A loss to the previously winless New York Giants in which Cleveland’s offensive unit more closely resembled people running out of a building on fire has the vibes way down low.
As the Browns embark on a three-game road trip beginning in Las Vegas this weekend, things feel more urgent than ever to right the ship. So let’s power rank the five most important Browns heading into Week 4.

Jamari Thrash, who Andrew Berry took in the fifth round this April, has not played a single snap.
