It is rare for Cleveland Browns fans to all agree on something but most agree something needs to be done about the defensive tackle. Michigan’s Mazi Smith may just fit the bill as the team could likely attack the position both through free agency and the draft to revamp the entire position room. In this 2023 NFL Mock Draft for the first time I have included trades to add more picks later to offset the massive contract extensions, the team has signed.
The Trade: Browns trade pick 42 to the Seattle Seahawks for pick 52 and a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. After making this trade it was clear it was time to address the defensive tackle position. This mock draft was done using the simulator from NFL mock draft database.
