Browns' Draft Strategy: Fano or Tate?

0:00On April 29th, Cleveland Brown's snagged offensive lineman Spencer Feno with the 9th overall pick in the 2026 draft, kicking off Wood, looks like a solid class for them. They traded back from 6-9, but General Manager Andrew Berry insists Fano was always their guy at the top of the board, making him the first. Tackle off the board. Earlier this week, Berry spilled some details in an ESPN Cleveland interview, saying the team had three players they'd be thrilled to grab at either. 6-9, Fano headlined that group, but Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate was right there in the mix too. Fans and media are buzzing because Tate got scooped up by the Tennessee Titans at number 4, so he was never really on the clock for Cleveland. Still, at least folks wondering what the Browns would have done if both were available. Stick with the line or go receiver. Berry dropped at the mystery third player, plays a different position from Tackle, but when pressed for a name, he just smiled and said it'd make for.
