Dawgs By Nature

● By Jared Mueller
While the Cleveland Browns have not been officially eliminated from playoff contention, only four teams have, that day is probably coming quicker than anyone wants. The Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers, were eliminated from the AFC North race in Week 15 but both teams won their games. Cleveland doesn’t have their first-round draft pick but, hopefully, QB Deshaun Watson continues to show improvement over the final three games to show fans he was well worth the trade cost. The Browns do have a slew of selections that could impact the 2023 NFL season. Between the end of Week 15 and the actual NFL draft, a lot will happen. Three games will be played, injuries will happen, players will develop or regress and, then, free agency will open up. A lot of changes between now and then but mock drafts are a fun way to start to think about the team and prospects.
