Mock drafts, mock drafts, mock drafts. We have reached the point of the offseason where one can find 2023 NFL Mock Draft at every turn of the corner. And a new one completed by Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar has the Cleveland Browns opting against a defensive tackle or a wide receiver in favor of a safety. With the 42nd overall pick in Farrar’s mock draft, the Browns selected Texas A&M safety Antonio Johnson.
As the Browns likely look for two safeties in free agency and the draft, with Ronnie Harrison and John Johnson III likely exit, there are a variety of ways to do it. Using the 42nd overall pick on Johnson is one of those pathways.
