Although they didn't make their first pick until Day 2, the Cleveland Browns entered the 2023 NFL Draft with seven selections. They addressed every major need they could in what was an impressive weekend for the franchise and their front office.

Finishing the 2022 season at just 7-10, fourth in the AFC North, the Browns had failed to reach the postseason for the second consecutive season in the first year of the post-Baker Mayfield Era. Going 4-7 under then-incumbent starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett, the Browns were hindered by poor run defense and second-half performances that continued when quarterback Deshaun Watson returned from his suspension in Week 13.

However, with Watson expected to play his first full season with the Browns and Miles Garrett coming off of a season in which he set the franchise record for most career sacks, Cleveland can't afford to have the same struggles as they did last season.

Which is where their 2023 draft picks come in.

Meet the Browns' 2023 Draft Class

No. 74) WR Cedric Tillman, Tennessee Volunteers

A tough and competitive wideout with great football bloodlines, Tillman can line up inside or outside for the Cleveland Browns and make a significant impact either way. Especially next season, with Donovan People-Jones entering the final year of his rookie contract and Amari Cooper having no guaranteed money remaining on his contract but approximately a $24 million cap hit over the next two seasons.

Though he isn't the fastest wide receiver, Tillman still runs a 4.54 in the 40-yard dash and with his 6-foot-3, 213-pound frame that's often just fast enough. Tillman has soft hands, knows how find the soft spots in the zone, and projects to be a great red zone option for the Cleveland Browns. Notably, the Browns finished the 2022 season ranked 19th in red zone efficiency (53.6 percent).

In his final two seasons at the University of Tennessee, Tillman pulled down 101 receptions for 1,498 yards and 15 touchdowns in 18 games.

No. 98) NT Siaki Ika, Baylor Bears

A big-bodied nose tackle at 6-foot-3 and 335 pounds, Siaki Ika will primarily be counted on to help stop the run.

A relatively quick and powerful defensive anchor, Ika won a national championship with LSU in 2019 before transferring to Baylor in 2021 and being named to All-Big 12 teams in back-to-back seasons. Experienced, accomplished, and productive, the Cleveland Browns made a smart pickup for the leaky run defense.

Ika had his best season in 2021, when he recorded 17 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and a pass deflection in 12 games. He generated 30 quarterback pressures over the past two seasons, ranking second among defensive tackles in the FBS.
