It has been a productive offseason for the Cleveland Browns, from coaching changes to a productive free agency period and capped off with a good 2023 NFL draft class. General Manager Andrew Berry truly drafted the best player available this weekend overall maximizing potential and talent with the draft position.
The NFL will officially announce the 2023 schedule in the next couple of weeks as mini camps and offseason workouts will start up soon. The team announced that for the beginning of training camp, they would go to West Virginia to get away for a bit. There will be changes before the final cuts but if the decisions were made today this is how I think the roster would shake out.
Historically the team has mostly only carried two active quarterbacks on the roster since Kevin Stefanski arrived. But considering the guaranteed dollars given to Josh Dobbs and using a draft pick on Dorian Thompson-Robinson they will likely carry three. They carried Kellen Mond on the active roster despite making him active a lot in 2022 so likely all three make the roster this season.

The Browns currently only have two running backs on the roster that are likely to make the team unless an undrafted free agent has a great camp. Likely the third running back isn’t on the team and a great potential free agent that makes sense is veteran Jerick McKinnon. Though the team likely keeps one or two on the practice squad with a shift to more passing you likely only see three active backs on the 53.

The Browns have put an emphasis on the wide receiver room adding multiple via trade and free agency as well as drafting Cedric Tillman with their first pick in the draft. There has been indication and speculation that the offense will focus more on the passing game with a full season of Deshaun Watson. With that in mind, it would seem likely based on the current roster the time might decide to only carry two tight ends and use the extra roster spot on a seventh wide receiver.
