That strengthens their line heading into the 2026 NFL draft, where they hold the number 6 overall pick, plus another first rounder at. Number 24 from the Jaguars. General manager Andrew Berry now has flexibility to target other needs on offense. With the line short up, attentions shifts away from top tackles toward wide receivers like Ohio State's Carnell Tate. He's a polished playmaker who could fit perfectly in Todd Monkin's scheme, especially at that high draft spot if available. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson has also entered the conversation, particularly for the later pick. His dad has ties to Monkin, and Simpson recently said he'd love teaming up with Tate and Cleveland to make an impact right away. He stands out with zero drops last season, and elite contested catch numbers, making any quarterback look sharper.

As the Browns revamped their offense, pairing a top receiver with quarterback competition keeps all doors open, setting up intriguing possibilities, no matter how the draft unfolds.
