We’re about to get more answers when free agency kicks off next week, but the Cleveland Browns at least created more options for themselves at pick No. 6 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The majority of way-too-early mock drafts tabbed Cleveland with its right tackle of the future, either Miami’s Francis Mauigoa or Utah’s Spencer Fano. Monday’s trade (and subsequent extension) for Tytus Howard filled that spot, though, as the Browns are expected to keep Howard on the right side, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Cleveland could thus take a true best player available approach, which is in general manager Andrew Berry’s wheelhouse.
