Browns must take 2026 NFL Draft QB target early if they want him
If the Cleveland Browns want to target this highly-touted quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft, Andrew Berry will have to take him round one.
With the 2026 NFL Draft quickly approaching, the Cleveland Browns and general manager Andrew Berry are continuing to prepare for the big day this offseason. Cleveland’s main priority during the 2026 NFL Free Agency period was attacking the offensive line, as Berry signed both Zion Johnson and Elgton Jenkins to help the interior of the front line. However, the quarterback position is still a massive question mark heading into next season, but there is a possibility that Berry and the front office could select a player in the upcoming draft to fill the void, including Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson .
When discussing Simpson’s draft stock on the Pat McAfee Show, NFL insider Adam Schefter provided some clarity on his stock before the upcoming draft, claiming that he believes Simpson will be selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft . “The one thing I can say confidently right now, [after] talking to front offices, and it’s not going out on a limb, Ty Simpson will be a first-round draft pick,” Schefter stated. “That’s all I’m comfortable saying right now.
We will revisit this topic many times as the draft marches closer... and again, I think that will be one of the central storylines of the first round of the draft. ” "The one thing that I can say confidently right now is that Ty Simpson will be a first round draft pick..
Talking to front offices that's what I believe" @AdamSchefter #PMSLive https://t. co/8WAIXvyscD pic. twitter.
