The Cleveland Browns 2021 season was nothing short of a disappointment. After a playoff run in 2020 that ended in a narrow loss to the then-defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs, fans and media members alike thought that 2021 would be a year that the team would make another step forward and build off that success. However, those aspirations were never met, with injuries to key players, dysfunction, and drama in the locker room, as well as players just not playing up to their expected potential, the Browns ultimately missed the playoffs. That is how they find themselves sitting with the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. While 2021 was a disappointing year, it does allow everyone to focus on the draft and look to fix the issues that held the team back, be it through self-improvement or player acquisition to fill holes in the roster.
