Cleveland Browns 2023 NFL Draft pick tracker | Every pick, Cedric Tillman to Luke Wypler

The Cleveland Browns were mere spectators for Round 1 of the NFL draft for the second straight year on Thursday night — courtesy of the 2022 trade for quarterback Deshaun Watson (that cost them next year's first-round pick, too).

They entered Friday's second night of the draft without a second-round pick, too, meaning they did not make a pick until the third round. The Browns, though, were quite busy from that point forward over the final two days of the draft. They made two third-round picks Friday before making five more picks Saturday afternoon. They threw in one trade Saturday and left the draft with seven new players on their roster.

Here's how the draft unfolded for the Browns over the final two days of the 2023 NFL Draft:

Browns trade their seventh-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens

The Browns almost made it through the draft without a trade. Almost. Before they went on the clock to make their final scheduled pick of the draft, the 229th pick overall, they traded it to Baltimore for a 2024 sixth-round pick.

After a break of about 2 hours following a busy stretch of four picks between Nos. 111-142 Saturday afternoon, the Browns took Ohio State center Luke Wypler with their pick in the sixth round. He was the 190th pick overall. He becomes the second Buckeye offensive linemen they've drafted today. With their first pick of the day, the Browns took offensive tackle Dawand Jones. The Browns, unless they make a trade, have one pick left in the draft, a seventh-rounder at No. 229 overall.

Their pick this year, the 74th overall of the draft, is Tennessee wide receiver Cedric Tillman.
