The Cleveland Browns might be one of the more dysfunctional teams in the NFL, but on paper, this roster does sport a ton of talent. Quietly, General Manager Andrew Berry nailed the rookie class back in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Quinshon Judkins, Carson Schwesinger, and Harold Fannin Jr all contributed and could be long-term fixutres for the team. There is reason to believe that the 2026 NFL Draft could also yield some long-term players.
With two first-round picks this year as well, Berry has an abundance of resources to fix this roster once and for all. Can the Browns stack two good classes in a row and come out with a solid groupd in 2026?
Cleveland Browns mock draft haul goes all-in to fix the offense
6. Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia
Monroe Freeling has a massive wingspan and the ability to be groomed at either tackle spot. The Browns traded for Tytus Howard earlier this offseason, so he figures to settle in at right tackle.
Freeling could be the finishing touches along this offensive line, as the Browns also signed a pair of interior players in Zion Johnson and Elgton Jenkins. Suddenly, this offensive line would look quite good with Freeling in the picture.
24. Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
There is some to like with Ty Simpson and some to dislike. He's undersized and doesn't exactly come from a school that is known for franchise quarterbacks. Some might not think that's fair criticism, but it's been true.
Simpson, however, isn't exactly a slam-dunk Round 1 prospect, but playing quarterback could see his draft value rise up into Round 1. With the Browns clearly not having any sort of long-term quarterback in sight, taking a chance on Simpson wouldn't be a bad idea.
The Browns own the Jacksonville Jaguars' first-round pick this year thanks to last year's Travis Hunter trade.
39. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech
Jacob Rodriguez is going to be one heck of a player at the linebacker position. The Browns might not see Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah play football again, but with Schwesinger in the picture, the team might just be one more piece away at the position.
His vertical jump was nearly 40 inches, and he also had a broad jump of over 10 feet. Funnily enough, Lance Zierlein's NFL.com profile on Rodriguez features a comparison to Schwesinger himself.
70. Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State
Not yet 22 years old. Ted Hurst could be the steal of this year's draft. Standing at 6-4 and 206 pounds, he'll be physically imposing against defensive backs. He also has 4.42 speed, which is outstanding of someone his size.
Immediately a downfield weapon, Hurst has the profile to develop into a starter, and with the Browns clearly not getting a ton from Jerry Jeudy, receiver is a need.
107. Sam Roush, TE, Stanford
Sam Roush is someone who can be a true Y tight end, meaning he's going to be able to line up next to the offensive line as another blocker, but he's also got the receiving ability as well. The Browns add another young tight end to the mix.
146. Jake Slaughter, OC, Florida
Jake Slaughter could be more of a long-term center prospect the Browns can slowly bring on. They signed Jenkins in free agency, so he'd not immediately play.
149. Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia
Now addressing the cornerback room and simply taking the best player left on the board, the Browns come away with Daylen Everette from Georgia and keep stacking talent.
206. Robert Henry Jr., RB UTSA
Cleveland now turns back to the offensive side of the ball. They took Judkins and Dylan Sampson last year at running back and will add a third young player with Robert Henry Jr. from UTSA.
248. Sawyer Robertson, QB, Baylor
Drafting two quarterbacks would not be a bad idea given the Browns current situation at the position. While it's possible both Simpson and Sawyer Robertson don't become a franchise quarterback, Cleveland won't know unless the front office gives it a shot.
