Every team enters the draft with different philosophies from drafting the best player available to drafting for positional needs. The Cleveland Browns went into the 2023 NFL draft with the clear goal of drafting based on their board and landing as much value as they could. And it shows when comparing the value they got based on consensus big boards.
And according to a graph posted by Warren Sharp, the Browns came away with the fifth-best value of all 32 teams this weekend. Unfortunately for the Browns, their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, were also ranked in the top five.
