Green Bay received the 33rd and 108th overall selections in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Cleveland used the No. 29 pick on tight end David Njoku out of Miami.

Earlier in the evening, the Browns used the first overall pick on defensive end Myles Garrett, who was considered the consensus top prospect in this year's draft. Garrett drew comparisons to Von Miller in college and is expected to be the cornerstone of the Browns' defense.

Cleveland traded the No. 12 pick to the Houston Texans earlier in the evening, acquiring the No. 25 selection and a 2018 first-round pick. Houston used the No. 12 pick on Deshaun Watson, while the Browns used their second first-rounder of the evening on linebacker/safety Jabrill Peppers.
