Browns Snag Fano in Draft Steal

0:00On April 24th, Cleveland Browns just pulled off a slick move in the 2026 NFL draft, trading down from the sixth pick to the ninth spot. They snagged extra selections and still grabbed Spencer Fano, a standout offensive tackle from Utah without skipping a beat. Fano's no ordinary Lyman, he's bounced around positions in college, starting at an elite level everywhere before locking in at right tackle last year, in 2025. That kind of flexibility gives the Browns room to figure out his best fit down the line. Fans and Scouts figure Cleveland would beef up the old line early, especially with Ohio State Safety, Caleb Downs still sitting there when they picked. But they stay patient and got their guy anyway. What stands out about Fano is his mix of smooth athleticism, sharp technique, and untapped power as a run blocker. Dude's got a sky high ceiling. Analysts are calling this an A-grade steel. Browns for an office looking sharp, building that trench warfare foundation for the long haul.
