Browns Eyeing McNeil-Warren for Safety Boost

0:00On March 24, the Cleveland Browns are showing serious interest in bolstering their safety position early in the 2026 NFL draft. They've already hosted Toledo's standout Immanuel McNeil Warren on a pre-draft visit and sent assistant general manager Katherine Hickman to his pro-day. This week, meanwhile, the team's current safety's face uncertain futures. Ronnie Hickman has not signed his tender yet, though that's seen as a simple step. Grant Delpit is in the final year of his contract extension, making the position a clear priority. Fans and analysts note McNeil Warren's breakout season, with 77 tackles, five and a half tackles for loss, and two interceptions for the Rockets. Over his career, he's grabbed five picks and forced nine fumbles, proving his knack for creating turnovers. He's currently ranked 28th on the consensus bigboard, so the Browns might need their 24th overall pick to snag him, or they could. Wait until the 39th if he slides. Either way, he'd likely see the field right away, possibly challenging for a starting spot.
