Browns Mock Draft: Offense-Focused, QB Battle Continues

On April 2nd, ESPN experts just dropped a three-round mat draft for the 2026 NFL draft,

and the Cleveland Browns went all in on offense.

Melkhyper Jr., Matt Miller, Jordan Reed, and Field Yates crunched the first 100 picks,

handing Cleveland a stud-wide receiver from USC.

Mackay Lemon at number 6 overall in Miller's take.

Then Yates grabbed Alabama Tackle, Caden Proctor at 24, while Reed added Oregon Guard

Emanuel Pregnant in Round 2.

Meanwhile, the quarterback room stays a mess with Shedder Sanders,

Dishon Watson, and Dylan Gabriel, all in the mix.

Science points to the Browns holding steady there.

No big splash like Kurt Cousins, who's headed to the Raiders.

They're eyeing Alabama's tie Simpson, but Mox have him as a second-round guy,

like 26 to Arizona in one projection.

Browns fans are fed up with endless rebuilds, and don't want to waste Miles Garrett's

prime years rushing the edge, sticking with the current QB battle under new coach Todd Monkin

makes sense. Sanders or Gabriel might level up after a full season, buying time for A,

real answer in 2027. Diving deeper, Cleveland gave up the seventh most sacks last year,

51 in total, so bolstering the line with Proctor and Pregnant builds on.

Recent ads like Titus Howard, Zion Johnson, and Elton Jenkins,

and that receiver needs screens loud tied in Harold Fanon led them with 72 catches for 731 yards

and six scores. These picks set up whoever starts a QB with real weapons,

turning question marks into a solid attack that could flip the script for Cleveland.
