0:00On April 6, the 2026 NFL draft is just under three weeks out, and the Cleveland Browns are sitting pretty with nine picks, including three in the top 40 and four in the top 100. Their headliners are number six and number 24 in round one, number 39 in round two, and number 70 in round three. Mark Dras from Top Analysts are lighting up with prospects who could fix key holes on offense and defense. Experts like those at ESPN are eyeing wide receiver McCoy Lemon from USC at number six for his route-running smarts and big yards after catch. Then at 24, offensive tackle Kate Improktor from Alabama to beef up the line. Feldman from the athletic pushes tackle Frances Maigoa from Miami early, praising his all-around versatility while Reuter and Prisco both love. George's Monroe Freeling for his length and past protection at left tackle. These mocks highlight the Browns urgent needs after free agency moves. Wideouts like Arizona State's Jordan Tyson or Texas A&M's KC Concepcion pop up later in round one, bringing speed and return skills to Sparktha.
1:08Passing game. Guards and corners get love in rounds two and three, adding depth without overhauling the roster. Other gyms include Clemson's Ed rusher, TJ Parker to back up Miles Garrett, or even Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at 24 to crowd the QB. Room with Dylan Gabriel and the rest. Arizona State's Keith Avney shines as a speedy corner option too. With the clock ticking, these names are dominating the chatter, so the Browns could land game changers if the board falls right. Keep your ears open as it all unfolds.
