CLEVELAND HOLDS FIRST PICK IN 2000 DRAFT;
The Cleveland Browns will make the first choice of the 2000 National Football League Draft on April 15-16 in New York. The order of the 2000 Draft was announced today by the NFL.
The Browns’ choice will be followed by the Washington Redskins picking second and San Francisco 49ers third. Washington obtained the choice in a trade with New Orleans during the 1999 NFL Draft.
Draft-order ties are resolved by the cumulative record of each team’s opponents. The team with the weaker opponents receives drafting priority.
Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. Priority of playoff clubs within a tied segment will be based on their advancement in the playoffs, but they will not drop out of their tied segment unless they participate in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl champion will select 31st and the runner-up 30th.
