Browns Mock Draft: Wide Receiver & O-Line Boost

0:00On April 1st, Cleveland Brown's sitting pretty with pick 6 and 24, in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, just 23, days out. In this latest 7-round mock, they target their glaring holes, starting with wide receiver carnaltate at 6, the top guy available to spark that. Bottom tier passing game and give their starter real weapons. They double down on the trenches at 24, with massive offensive tackle, Kaden Proctor, 6 with 7, 352 pounds, A. Polarizing prospect who could slide, but brings start of potential despite needing polish. Brown's beefed up the line this offseason with vets like Titus Howard and others, but youth here locks in protection long-term. Pass rush gets a boost in round 2, with defensive end R Mason Thomas, speedy edge guy at 6 with 2 to team with Miles Garrett. Turning. Double teams into one-on-one wins, and elevating that front. Fans buzzing about the nightmare duo, especially since Cleveland's chase that opposite threat for years.

1:02Round 3 brings quarterback Garrett Newsmeyer, a high upside gamble in a May QB class, better back a floor than some vets and starter ceiling down. The line. Later picks Lair and another receiver. Dijon Stribbling, run stuffing, D.T. Demante K Part, versatile tight-in Dekwan Wright, interior lineman Jake, slaughter, and shifty back to Marion Miller for depth across the board. This hall flips Brown's from needy a squad to balance contender overnight, stacking offense early while fortifying defense, priming them to compete. Now and build deep.
