Denzel Boston: Browns' Draft Target, Jefferson Comp

On March 22nd, Washington-wide receiver Denzel Boston is drawing big buzz as a late first-round

pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

The six-foot-four standout has already visited the Cleveland Browns, who see him as a prime

target to boost their passing game.

A former NFL Lyman even compared him to superstar Justin Jefferson, calling his upside Sky-High.

Boston put up solid numbers in his final college seasons, with 834 yards as a junior and

881 as a senior.

His size and smooth athleticism make him a mismatch nightmare, projecting him anywhere from pick

16 to 26 overall.

That Jefferson comp comes from Brydon Faheko, who played for the chargers.

It's a bold one, since Jefferson has never had a season under 1,000 yards, even in a

shortened year with injuries.

Fans and scouts are split on whether Boston can reach those heights.

Meanwhile, the Browns desperately need help at a fence of tackle and wide receiver heading

into the draft.

They might grab a tackle early at pick 9, then snag Boston later if he slides, or flip

the script and prioritize the receiver first.

Nailing these spots could transform Cleveland's roster overnight and in their playoff drought,

especially if Boston lives up to the hype and becomes.

Their next game changer.
