Browns Plainly Podcast

It's here! We have the Cleveland Browns 2023 schedule!

Cleveland will face a brutal beginning, the first four week have three divisional game albeit with two at home. An early week five bye week but the 49ers come to town week six.

The second trip has two long road trips and the culmination of their games against the Ravens and Steelers, teams you probably want to face earlier as opposed to later.

The final six games features as of now winnable games and facing the Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week Seventeen gives the Browns the chance to be rested for what should be a big regular season finale in Cincinnati.

Jackson and Anthony continue recapping the AFC North rivals' offseason as they welcome special guest Matt Jergensen of the Baltimore Blitz podcast as the trio discuss Lamar Jackson's contract saga, the free agency and draft additions Baltimore made to the roster as well as the expectations for the Ravens for the upcoming 2023 season

The Cleveland Browns have the best running back in the AFC North in Nick Chubb but with out established depth behind him do they have they still have the best overall position in the North. Joe Mixon's versatility makes for a close argument. The Ravens have a solid chance if Dobbins and Jackson return to full health. Najee Harris may see more daylight with an improved offensive line and improved quarterback play. Until we see these things come to fruition Chubb trumps all in this positional debate.

We dive deeper in rookie center Luke Wypler and in time his game could develop into a former Cleveland center.

Our thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens 2023 Draft class.

The NFL will release its schedule on Thursday night and we'll know when and where the Browns are playing in the fall.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe took their best shot at predicting the Browns schedule. They start with Week 1 and each person takes a week to slot one of the games -- including the bye week -- and lay out all 18 weeks.

First, they discuss Deshaun Watson again taking his offensive teammates on a trip this year, this time to Puerto Rico. What do they hope to accomplish? Do we make too much of these trips? Why is it important for Watson to do this?

With post-draft power rankings starting to come out, it's becoming clear people aren't quite ready to jump on the Browns hype train. Why? Could the Browns surprise people?

How much will Deshaun Watson play in the preseason? Will the Browns keep Dawand Jones at right tackle? Will Andrew Berry go running back shopping between now and training camp?

Mary Kay and Dan get into all of that and more on today's podcast.

We give you the PFF Grades for the Cleveland Browns 2023 NFL DRAFT. John Kosko of Pro Football Focus joins Jeff Lloyd of the Locked-On Browns Podcast to break down all of the Cleveland Browns draft picks. You will want to pay close attention to our analysis of the 2023 NFL Draft on The Locked-On Browns Podcast. If you're a Cleveland Browns fan, then you'll want to watch this video! We're giving you a breakdown of the Browns entire 2023 NFL Draft pick by pick. We think the Browns 3rd round pick Cedric Tillman, 5th round pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and 4th round pick Dawan Jones really helped the Browns depth. The Cleveland Browns entered the 2023 NFL Draft on April 27 with eight picks over the three-day draft, but they didn’t make their first pick until the third round Friday night, selecting Tennessee wide receiver Cedric Tillman with the No. 74 overall pick. With their second third-round pick Friday, the Browns took Baylor defensive tackle Siaki Ika at No. 98. The Browns had six picks left for Day 3 and opened Saturday by taking offensive tackle Dawand Jones out of Ohio State with the No. 111 pick. With their second fourth-round pick (No. 126), they took defensive end Isaiah McGuire out of Missouri. In the fifth round, Cleveland added UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (No. 140) and Northwestern cornerback Cameron Mitchell (No. 142). The Browns added Ohio State center Luke Wypler in the sixth round and traded the No. 229 pick of the seventh round to Baltimore for a sixth-round pick in 2024.

Jackson and Anthony have hit 350 episodes for the podcast and want to thank everyone who has supported the show over the last six years.

In this episode, the duo discusses the Browns picking up Jedrick Wills' fifth-year option, the addition of veteran safety Rodney McLeod, and some rumors tying free agents at other vital positions as the offseason progresses forward toward the 2023 season.

Browns GM Andrew Berry completed his fourth draft, a rare feat for a Browns GM, and Berry has always made it clear he is looking years down the road when he picks his players.

A few years removed from his first drafts as Browns GM, how would we judge those first two drafts? It's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers posed to Mary Kay Cabot on our weekly Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

Mary Kay joins Dan Labbe to discuss Berry's drafts, head coach Kevin Stefanski's ability to build an offense around Deshaun Watson, Alex Van Pelt's role and more.

The Cleveland Browns have signed their first wave of undrafted free agents for 2023. The Cleveland Browns have added to their draft haul by signing nine undrafted free agents to try and help the team. This comes after the Browns drafted seven players during the 2023 NFL Draft, and now have at least 17 rookies to work with heading into the rookie camp portion of the offseason. t’s very likely that many, if not all of these rookies will eventually get released. Most won’t even make the practice team as other rookies become available, and other players from the USFL and XFL become available as well. It should be mentioned that some are reporting the Browns’ signing of Amos Cormier, a cornerback out of Georgia State, except there is no Cormier on the Georgia State roster during the 2022 season. So, he’s not going to be included here. But, until then, these are the extra rookies the Browns were able to procure after the 2023 NFL Draft.

DL Lonnie Phelps, Kansas

LB Mohamoud Diabate, Utah

RB Hassan Hall, Georgia Tech

TE Thomas Greaney, Albany

DE Jeremiah Martin, Washington

S Ronnie Hickman, Ohio State

S Charlie Thomas, Georgia Tech

CB Tanner McAllister, Ohio State

CB Caleb Biggers, Boise State

While everyone talked about Will Levis and Brian Branch’s fall during the 2023 NFL Draft from first rounders to second rounders, not as many people really talked about the fall of former Army Black Knight’s defensive end/linebacker Andre Carter II. Carter, now a Minnesota Viking, was someone who had the look, size, and athletic abilities to be something worth checking out in the NFL. Yet, he fell from the third round, where he was mocked to go, all the way to an undrafted free agent. Carter may not turn into anything worthwhile, but considering the Browns are all about “value” picks and players, to not get Carter in the seventh round or even as an undrafted free agent is interesting. Sure, the obvious answer is that Andrew Berry didn’t see the value in him, but I’d also argue that he’s gone back-to-back-to-back with wide receivers in the third round, and it’s looking like at least two of them won’t pan out. So maybe he’s not the best evaluator of talent. Here’s hoping Carter can turn it up in Minnesota and become a start. Moreover, here’s hoping that the likes of Ronnie Hickman and Tanner McAllister from Ohio State make it on the Browns’ roster as well.
