LAS VEGAS — The Browns have selected C Dawson Deaton as the 246th pick overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
In his last two seasons, he was a second-team all-conference pick, starting 11 games last year and 10 games in 2020. In 2019, he garnered an honorable mention All-Big 12 notice.
After addressing the defensive line, kicker and wide receiver positions over the three-day roster build, the Browns moved their focus to add another
body along the offensive line.
The Browns lost veteran center JC Tretter this offseason, and were quick to bring in more talent by signing five-year veteran Ethan Pocic, who also played guard with the Seahawks in addition to center.
Deaton joins Pocic and Nick Harris on the roster at center.
