These 36 players are locks to make the Browns’ final 53-man roster

The Cleveland Browns are back to work as they have concluded their week at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. They will now head back to Berea as Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb, and company look to get back into the playoffs for the first time in three years.

Their roster currently sits at 90 players, and for the first time, the NFL has changed the cutdown rules where teams can now ax their lineup straight from 90 to 53 all at once. As the Browns look to do that, which players on their roster right now are locks to make the team?

Here are 36 players that will be on the final-53 man roster (barring injuries).
