NFL Draft order: Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots among teams with best and worst picks

The 2017 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday night, with teams slated to select star players who will enhance their squad's chances of going the distance next season.

After California quarterback Jared Goff went first in the 2016 NFL Draft, all eyes will be on league commissioner Roger Goodell as he announces this year's star draft leader.

The Cleveland Browns have the coveted first pick on Thursday night, and will be choosing from this year's star draft roster including Texas A&M's DE Myles Garrett and North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. The Browns previously had the first round pick back-to-back years in 1999 and 2000.

After years of draft picks for their quarterback that have proven poor in return, the Browns are in severe need of a strong quarterback -- which leads analysts to believe they will go with Trubisky for their first pick. The San Francisco 49ers have the second pick, and ESPN's Nick Wagoner believes Stanford DE Solomon Thomas is a strong pick for Kyle Shanahan's squad.

While the Browns and 49ers will get top picks in the first round, reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams do not have a first round pick this year.
