On March 28th, the 2026 NFL draft is shaping up to be wild and unpredictable, especially after the Raiders snag quarterback Fernando, Mendoza at number 1.

But one analyst is throwing a curveball, predicting the Browns could shock everyone by grabbing Alabama offensive tackle, Caden Proctor at number 6.
