Browns Grab Offensive Talent in Mock Draft

0:00On April 17th, Cleveland Browns heading into the 2026 NFL Draft with two first round picks, looking to fix their offense big time. In Chad Reuters' latest seven-round mock on NFL.com, they grabbed Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling at number six overall to beef up the line. Right away, then they trade up late in the first round, swapping with the Dallas Cowboys to snag Arizona State wide receiver Jordan Tyson at number 20. That move cost them a third-rounder, a fifth-rounder, and sliding their 24th pick back a few spots, but Reuters sees Tyson as a top outside. Threat for whoever wins the QB battle. Meanwhile, New Head coach Todd Monkin has three guys duken it out for the starting job, Shadour Sanders, Dishon Watson, and Dylan Gabriel. Sanders threw for over 1,300 yards with seven touchdowns and nine picks in his last seven starts at Colorado. Gabriel had 918 yards, six scores, and just two picks before getting benched.

1:00Watson's back from Achilles' issues but hasn't played since week seven of last season. Browns already got Jerry Judy, Senator Tillman, Isaiah Bond, and that steel-herald fan in junior from last year's third round. Pairing Tyson with fan in inside could spark something real on offense, especially with a stronger line in front. Giving those QB's elite protection and weapons like this sets them up to compete. Reuters mock shows Cleveland building a foundation that might finally turn the page.
