Browns Mock Draft: Tackle Blake Miller at 24

About this episode

The Cleveland Browns, with two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, are expected to address their roster gaps, particularly their passing game. Pro Football Focus analyst Bradley Locker predicts theyll select Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate at number six overall. An unexpected choice for their second first-round pick at number twenty-four is Clemson right tackle Blake Miller, who, despite not being a household name, fits their wide-zone scheme and has a high pass-blocking grade. However, Millers run-blocking abilities are questionable, and the Browns may consider Utahs Caleb Lomu as an alternative on day two. This strategy aims to provide a day-one starter at tackle, allow for line shuffling, and build a strong line for immediate success.

On April 18th, the Cleveland Browns have stacked heading into the 2026 NFL draft, holding two first round picks and four total inside the Brown. Top 70. That's prime ammo to fix their roster gaps, especially after splashing cash on offensive linemen in free agency. Pro football focus analyst Bradley Locker mocks them, grabbing Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate at number six overall to boost their passing game. After this week, Locker dropped the curveball with their second first rounder at number 24, projecting Clemson right tackle Blake Miller. It's unexpected since Miller flies under the radar compared to other top tackles, but it makes sense with the Browns new line additions like Titus, Howard, Elton Jenkins, and Zion Johnson. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Miller's got an 83.5 pf pass blocking grade and 54 college games under his belt. He's athletic, climbs well to the second level, and fits Todd Munkin's wide zone scheme,

perfectly against beasts like TJ Watten Cameron Hayward. Twice a year in the AFC North. That said, Miller's no mauler in the run game, more of a mover than a brick wall, and the Browns only chatted with him at the combine. They might pivot to Utah's Caleb Lomu, a left tackle on day two instead. Bottom line, this path gives Cleveland a day one starter tackle, lets them shuffle Howard inside and build a rock solid line ready to roll right away.
