Cleveland Browns 2026 NFL draft Mailbag Post Free Agency Edition
With free agency slowing down it's time to answer some reader's draft questions.
The first couple of waves of free agency have come and gone, as many teams and fans turn their attention to the 2026 NFL draft. The draft is a month away, and the Cleveland Browns have a couple of glaring needs that will have to be addressed one way or another. I asked readers on social media for Browns draft questions, so let's dive into them now.
What TE in this class fits best alongside Harold Fannin Jr? -JackMcCurry08 The guy I think would be the best pairing is someone the Browns already brought in for a Top 30 visit and who has ties to Todd Monken, Georgia tight end, Oscar Delp . His usage didn't make sense at Georgia, and his production reflects that.
But when you turn on the tape, you see a guy who looks and moves like a great tight end. He's a good blocker with impressive athleticism who can be moved around and complement Fannin well. Is Caleb Downs in play at 6 overall?
-AlexH0128 Last year, Andrew Berry seemed to focus on the best players rather than just force needs with his early picks, taking a defensive tackle, a linebacker, and a running back with his top picks. Caleb Downs is the number one player on my big board, and if Berry thinks he might be the missing piece on defense, it wouldn't shock me at all if he pulled the trigger and kept Downs in the state of Ohio. Is Monroe Freeling worth taking at 6th overall, or is it better to wait for LT later?
