Mauigoa's Potential Slide to Browns

On April 3rd, Fernando Mendoza has been dominating the 2026 NFL Draftock for four straight

months, locked in as the number one pick, headed to the Las Vegas Raiders, come April 23rd.

No wild dramas knocking him off that spot, making him the unquestioned top dog right now.

The rest of the first round stays wide open, but after the scouting combine, Arville

re-sits firm at number two, while Francis Maui-Goa hovers around.

Number three in most mocks.

That is, unless you buy into Bruce Feldman's latest from the athletic, where Maui-Goa

surprisingly slides all the way to the Cleveland Browns at number six.

Browns fans are crossing fingers for that exact slide, since their line needs a boost

bad.

Maui-Goa's got legit short arm worries, but he's a smooth past protector whose quick, technical

and athletic enough to flip positions without missing.

A beat.

And Miami's pro day, he clocked a 5.1240 yard dash with a 29 inch vertical, and over three

college years, he surrendered.

Just eight sacks and over 1,400 pass blocking snaps.

Pro foot ball folk has graded him at 98.4% efficiency his last year, holding down a line

that hit the national title game.

If Maui-Goa falls to them, the Browns can't sleep on it.

Pair him inside with tackle picks later, and you've got trench monsters owning games

for years.

Things like that when championships straight up.
