Browns Land Tate, Lomu in Mock Draft

0:00On March 18th, mock draft season is heating up for the 2026 NFL Draft, and NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah has the Cleveland Browns landing. Two high impact players in the first round. At pick number 6, they grab wide receiver Carnell Tate from Ohio State, the top guy at his position. Then at pick number 24, they add offensive tackle Caleb Lomu from Utah to shore up the line. Tate brings proven production from three years with the Buckeyes, where he racked up over 1,800 yards and 14 touchdowns. Scouts love his route running and ability to make tough catches, comparing him to a reliable pro bowl type right away. This pick hits the Browns biggest offensive need after missing out on free agents and big trades like the one for Jalen Waddle. Browns fans have been dreading reaches for unproven quarterbacks or tackles early, but this mock avoids those risks. Instead, it focuses on ready-made talent, giving Cleveland the best case starts around one that could turn their offense around fast.

1:02Lomu checks in at 6-6 and 313 pounds, with strong pass protection skills and a solid grade from analysts, nearly matching, top tackles. He slots in at left tackle, completing a revamped line with pieces like Zion Johnson and Elton Jenkins. Having these two with a quarterback like Shadour Sanders sets the Browns up as contenders, building a strong foundation without gambling on RAW. Potential.
