The Cleveland Browns have three major factors going for them which should have them contending in 2023.

Deshaun Watson will have no more newness to him in his second year, and is surrounded by quality in all phases of his offense. The receiving group is upgraded with a potential break-out player. David Njoku has grown into a complete NFL tight end. Nick Chubb and the offensive line have always been a group that can dominate a weak defense.

Winning teams build their defense on the premise of playing with the lead. So you build your unit with more defensive lineman and secondary players to combat the oncoming passing game. Cleveland is five deep at edge, upgraded at defensive tackle, and posses a secondary that could have eight to nine guys see legit reps.

Jim Schwartz coming into to coordinate Myles Garrett and a now deep defensive roster feels like it should be getting more affection then it's going.
