With just one game left to play tomorrow, as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles battle in the Super Bowl, the offseason gets set for full steam ahead when the new league year quickly follows. This means the 2023 NFL Draft will be here in the blink of an eye, and the Cleveland Browns will need to take advantage. Here we conduct a mock draft round-up to see who various outlets are sending to the Browns in their 2023 NFL Mock Drafts. Two names became a common theme in the form of Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter and USC defensive lineman Tuli Tuipulotu.
Pro Football Network's Joe Broback: Notre Dame EDGE Isaiah Foskey
“Isaiah Foskey is still learning how to thrive on the line, but his experience at linebacker will help until he does. Cleveland could utilize him at multiple positions if they like, but he’s proven that he can be a team player by learning a new position.” -Broback
NFL Draft Lounge's Brian Lamb: USC DL Tuli Tuipulotu
Pro Football Network's Ian Cummings: Florida DT Gervon Dexter
“You want to stop the run? You want to rush the passer from the interior? Gervon Dexter, at 6’6″, 313 pounds, gives you the forklift-style-player type to do both of those things.” –Cummings
Windy City Gridiron's Jacob Infante: USC DL Tuli Tuipulotu
Walter Football's Charlie Campbell: Michigan EDGE Mike Morris
“The Browns add a replacement for Jadeveon Clowney.
Morris put together a strong senior year for the Wolverines, showing improved pass-rush ability. After recording only .5 sacks in 2021 and 2020 combined, Morris recorded 7.5 sacks, 23 tackles, a forced fumble and three passes batted in 2022 while also missing some time with an injury. Morris has good height and length that could let him play as an inside/outside defensive lineman as a pro. Team sources say they think he could go in the second or third round this coming April during the 2023 NFL Draft.” –Campbell
The 33rd Team's Scouting Department: Florida DT Gervon Dexter
Draft Wire's Luke Easterling: Clemson DT Bryan Bresee
Drafttek's full mock draft: Iowa EDGE Lukas Van Ness
Browns Wire's Cory Kinnan: Cincinnati WR Tyler Scott
“Perhaps the most slept-on receiver in this draft class, Cincinnati wide receiver Tyler Scott is an electric playmaker with the throttle to effortlessly get in and out of his routes with suddenness and violence. He is going to run a blazing fast time and will be just what the Browns need to add an element of verticality to their offense heading into a make-or-break 2023 season.
Other candidates on the board included Pitt defensive tackle Calijah Kancey, Boston College receiver Zay Flowers, Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders, and more.” -Kinnan
Browns Wire's Jacob Roach: UNC WR Josh Downs
