Browns Predicted to Draft Elite Edge Rusher

0:00On March 20th, the Cleveland Browns face a tough call in the 2026 NFL draft, but one expert predicts the grab Miami-Ed Russia. Ruben Bain Jr. with the number 6 overall pick, even with big needs on offense, the focus here is on adding elite defense talent. Afwan sports writer Luke Easterling argues the Browns should not pass up top defensive players, no matter the gaps at offensive tackle or wide, receiver. He sees Bain as a perfect fit to line up opposite star Miles Garrett. Fans and analysts have mixed feelings since the team has struggled to build a strong offense in recent years. Still, many agree bolstering the pass rush could transform their defense into a real weapon. Bain brings three down potential and could develop into a generational talent under Garrett's guidance. Pairing them would create one of the league's scariest edge duos for opponents. With more draft picks in the top 40, Cleveland can still address offense later, keeping their rebuilt flexible as the draft approaches.
