Browns Mock Draft: Sliding Back, Stacking Picks

Cleveland Browns Mock Draft: Trading Down, Stacking Picks, and Filling Holes

The Cleveland Browns, holding the sixth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, are considering trading down to accumulate more picks and save on a fully guaranteed $40 million contract. The focus is on addressing tackle and wide receiver needs, but the draft needs to be strong across all positions.

In this mock draft, the Browns trade down to the New York Jets, receiving picks 16, 33, and 103 in return. They select Monroe Freeling, a Georgia tackle, at 16, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, a safety from the Jaguars, at 24.

On day two, they draft Denzel Boston, a Washington receiver, at 64, R. Mason Thomas, an edge rusher, at 39, and Davison Igbinosun, a cornerback, at 70.

Later rounds see the Browns draft Jake Slaughter, a center from Florida, at 103, Oscar Delp, a tight end from Georgia, at 107, and various linebackers and running backs with upside. They also draft a local Division III stud, Tyren Montgomery, at 206, and a late QB dart throw, Kansass Jalon Daniels, in round seven.

This draft strategy, with five top-seventy picks, strengthens the roster without burning the top spot, keeping the Browns competitive across the board.
