Cleveland Browns' 2026 NFL Mock Draft: examining what a first-round, trade-down could look like in this year's draft.

The Cleveland Browns and general manager Andrew Berry will now look to build on their recent success in the 2026 NFL Draft after the first wave of free agency. Given how the struggling organization could approach the highly anticipated event, Berry and the front office must focus on the offensive side of the ball. And with 10 picks in the upcoming draft, Cleveland is in a prime position to revamp the unit this offseason.

Here’s a full seven-round mock draft for the Browns , with a shocking trade down on night one. Round One, Pick No. 15: Caleb Lomu (OT, Utah)* *CLE trades No.

6, No. 146, 2027 RD5 to TB for No. 15, No.

46, 2027 RD3 Despite all the rumors surrounding the Browns’ interest in Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor at pick No. 6, I still believe the most likely outcome would be trading down. In this scenario, Cleveland moves down to No.
