Browns' Draft Strategy: Trading Down, Stockpiling Picks

0:00On March 30, Cleveland Brown's gear up for the 2026 NFL Draft with the sixth overall pick and general manager Andrew Barry is keeping. Things close to the vest. At the owner's meetings, he straight up said they might not even be picking six by draft time in late April and if they are, no clue yet on the selection. Barry made it clear the team is open to trading down, especially with no long-term quarterback in sight. Stoppiling picks for next year fits their plan, just like they did last year by moving back and grabbing an extra first rounder. Fans and analysts see mixed results from various past drafts, but his 2025 class sparks some hope. Trading down could build depth without forcing a reach at six. Mock drafts keep pointing to offensive tackles like Miami's Frances Malagoa, Utah Spencer Fano, or Georgia's Monroe Freeling as top targets. Wide receivers such as Ohio State's Carnell Tate or USC's Mackay Lemon are also in play, along with safety Caleb Downs or even an edger usher if Miles.
