Browns Draft Alabama Talent, Trade Picks

0:00On April 25th, the Cleveland Browns kicked off day three of the 2026 NFL draft by grabbing Alabama Center Parker Brailsford. At six foot two and 289 pounds, he's undersized but moves like an elite athlete, filling a key need up front. Head coach Todd Monkin knows this type well from his Ravens days with Tyler Lindrbaum, another smaller guy who thrived in that scheme. This marks the first of four fifth round picks for the Browns in a tight seven-pick window. They doubled down on Alabama talent next, snagging linebacker Justin Jefferson at the 149th overall pick. He's another athletic build for a potential will role, especially with questions around Jeremiah Ousu Koro Moa's future. The Browns shuffled the deck too, trading the 148th pick to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 fourth rounder. They also sent the 150 second to the Denver Broncos and picked up the 180 second in return, with their next shot at the 170th.
