Cleveland Browns' 2026 NFL Draft Picks and Needs

Picks: Nos. 6, 24, 39, 70, 107, 146, 149, 206, 248

Top Needs: OL, WR, CB

The Cleveland Browns have a good amount of draft capital, including two first-round picks. However, they have some glaring needs that must be addressed in this year's draft.

With the evaluation of quarterbacks Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel set to commence, the Browns need at least another offensive tackle and a starting-caliber receiver. They could realistically look to add multiple receivers and tackles this year, and some additional guard depth wouldn't hurt.

Expect general manager Andrew Berry to try moving down and adding more draft darts in the early rounds. If he can't, prospects like Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate and Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano are logical targets at No. 6.

A receiver such as Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. or a tackle like Alabama's Kadyn Proctor would then be a logical pick at No. 24—depending on which position is addressed first.

Given the Browns' history of cornerback injuries, they could use some depth there, as well. Expect prospects such as Texas corner Malik Muhammad, Louisville receiver Chris Bell, Georgia Tech interior lineman Keylan Rutledge, and Utah tackle Caleb Lomu to be in Cleveland's sights early on Day 2.
