As is true every year, the upcoming NFL draft class is the most important NFL draft class. While the Cleveland Browns have drafted in the first or second round the last two seasons, and won’t draft in the first round this year again. GM Andrew Berry has gotten a lot of value out of young players in those draft classes, especially CB Martin Emerson, OL Dawand Jones, DE Alex Wright and undrafted safety Ronnie Hickman.
The 2023 NFL draft included WR Cedric Tillman and DT Siaki Ika heading to Cleveland before Jones was selected.
