With the 2023 NFL Draft now less than three months away, the Senior Bowl has not come and gone, and the NFL Scouting Combine is next on the pre-draft agenda. With a massive overhaul needed on the defensive side of the football, the Cleveland Browns will look to use their eight picks to add necessary young talent to their roster. Defensive tackle remains a massive need for them, and that’s why 2023 NFL Mock Drafts consistently mock them defensive linemen. The Draft Network was no different in their latest mock, giving the Browns Mazi Smith.
While he may need some refinement to sharpen his game, there is no doubting the freak athlete that Smith is. The Browns would be wise to invest in a veteran or two in free agency if this is the pathway they take in the draft.
