Browns drop two slots in 2023 NFL Draft order after win vs. Ravens

Where would the Browns draft in the 2023 NFL Draft if it were today?

There are just three weeks left in the regular season for teams who will not make the playoffs to solidify their 2023 NFL Draft slots. While the Cleveland Browns are not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention yet, their draft pick will not fall much further than what it is now. After a win against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, the Browns saw their draft slot fall back to the 44th overall selection from the 42nd pick.

This means the Houston Texans would prospectively hold the 13th overall pick in the draft from the Browns after the Deshaun Watson trade this past offseason. This could end up being the prime position to land a defensive tackle like Alabama’s Byron Young.

Kevin Stefanski is Browns’ winningest head coach since their return in 1999

There is now a new franchise leader in wins since their return in 1999.

As the Cleveland Browns defeated the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 13-3 on Saturday Night Football, another franchise milestone was defeated as well. Notching his 25th win as the head coach of the Browns, Kevin Stefanski is now the winningest head coach since the franchise returned in 1999.

Surpassing both Romeo Crennel and Butch Davis, who coaches 12 and 16 more games respectively than Stefanski, the current head coach in Cleveland has surpassed them in just 47 games coached. With three games left to go, there is a good opportunity for Stefanski and the Browns to reach 28 by the end of the season.

Stefanski’s career record as a head coach in the NFL now sits at 25-22 in less than three seasons leading the Browns.

Browns Injury Update: Jadeveon Clowney ruled OUT with head injury vs. Ravens

The Browns will be without Jadeveon Clowney for the rest of this game.

After leaving the game right before the end of the first half, Jadeveon Clowney has now been ruled out for the rest of this game against the Baltimore Ravens with a head injury. For a defense that is already putrid against the run, the Cleveland Browns cannot afford to lose their best run defender.

Rookie Alex Wright started the second half opposite of Myles Garrett on the opening drive. He and Chase Winovich will rotate in relief of Clowney for the last 30 minutes in this matchup against the Ravens. Looking to build momentum down the stretch of the season, the Browns will need to rally back from this loss.
