Browns Steal McNeil-Warren, Boost Defense

0:00On April 25th, the Cleveland Browns just snagged safety and manual McNeil Warren at pick number 58 in the second round of the 2026. NFL Draft General manager Andrew Berry traded up using extra picks because this guy dropped way later than expected after early first round hype. They hosted him for a pre-draft visit and kept close watch all off season. With a stack defense returning starters like Grant Delpitt and Ronnie Hickman, McNeil Warren adds versatility he can line up at safety, corner, or even linebacker under new coordinator Mike Routenberg. Fans and analysts see this as a steal, especially since his skills mirror Seattle Super Bowl star, Nick Mnworry. That athleticism and speed let the Seahawks mix up their looks and confuse offenses, and now Cleveland's copying that blueprint to boost run defense. And coverage. Earlier trades paid off big two dropping from pick number six landed them Utah Tackle Spencer Fano plus two wide receivers right after.

1:01Berry's draft moves keep hitting, turning surplus picks into a loaded roster. This haul shows the Browns playing smart and a league full of surprises, positioning them strong for the season ahead.
