With The First Pick

Last offseason, the Cleveland Browns made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they traded for Deshaun Watson. However, he missed a majority of the season after being suspended for the first 11 games. The Browns would struggle for the first part of the season as they went 2-5 but finished the year better with a .500 record which included wins over three playoff teams (Bengals, Bucs, and Ravens). Looking ahead to this offseason, the focus for the Cleveland Browns needs to be on the defensive side of the ball and that is exactly what they try to address in this seven-round 2023 NFL mock draft with eight picks beginning with their pick in the second round.
