When the Browns acquired Deshaun Watson in the 2022 offseason, it left them with eight picks for the 2023 NFL Draft. That’s a healthy number, but their first pick is not until the middle of the third round. Yes, this presents added pressure for Browns GM Andrew Berry to make the most of their picks. Still, having multiple selections in Rounds 3-5 and one pick each in Rounds 6 and 7 is not too bad at all. Again, the most significant drawback for the Browns in the upcoming draft is their lack of a first-round pick. Recall that this happened because of their deal with the Houston Texans for Watson. With Watson expected to play the entire 2023 season, Browns fans will hope they get a good return for their draft capital. Despite this, the Browns still have enough picks to benefit from the anticipated depth of the 2023 NFL Draft class. Although they will not have early picks, they are still in a position to improve their team.
