When is the 2023 NFL Draft?
By Randy Gurzi
In years past, the Cleveland Browns have gone into the NFL Draft with a multitude of picks, with many coming early. As was the case last year, they won't be featured at all during Round 1, and barring a trade-up, they again won't make a pick in Round 2.
There are those who are frustrated by this but if we're being honest, the early selections weren't exactly working out. Now, they're swinging big by acquiring players who are already in the league such as Deshaun Watson and Elijah Moore.
And while they won't be on the clock until Pick No. 74, the Browns can still find impactful players as they look to round out their roster. Here, we look at all the information that will be needed to catch the event this spring.
