For this weekâs Reacts question, we asked whether Cleveland Browns will attend this yearâs NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
Some fans commented that they currently reside in or near the city of Pittsburgh, and that they would be staying far away to avoid traffic nightmares. Overall, though, 27% of Browns fans who voted said they are considering attending the draft, which is a pretty decent number when you think about it.
As I expressed earlier in the week, if it doesnât rain, there is a high likelihood that I will drive down to Pittsburgh for the first time, making video features of the city and the NFL Draft festivities for Browns fans to see for Day 1 of the draft.
A few years ago, I highlighted a few things that Iâd be interested in doing if I visited Pittsburgh, including walking the Roberto Clemente Bridge, eating at Primanti Brothers in The Strip District, riding the Duquesne Incline, seeing the Heniz History Center, and visiting the Andy Warhol Museum.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Brownsâ odds to win the AFC North are 16/1, which are last in the division and a slight drop from a week ago. Could that change with an impressive draft? Right now, weâre in the process of compiling our Browns Big Board.
