Browns new WR KC Concepcion gets high praise from NFL Draft analysts
Here is what NFL Draft analysts have to say about new Browns' wide receiver KC Concepcion
The Cleveland Browns added a wide receiver with the 24th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, landing Texas A&M's dynamic playmaker KC Concepcion. The pick was met with mixed reviews amongst the fanbase. There has been much made over drop issues and his size, despite the electric playmaking ability that Concepcion brings to the table.
However, fanbases tend to be more emotional and less even-keeled than fans of their favorite team. So, what did some draft analysts have to say about the Browns' new wide receiver? The Athletic's Dane Brugler Brugler had KC Concepcion, the new Browns' wide receiver, ranked as his fourth-best wide receiver in the class.
And what do you know? He was the fourth wide receiver off the board. Here is what the best in the business had to say on Concepcion: "An urgent, gliding athlete, Concepcion isn’t all the way there yet, but he has come a long way with his route running.
He has the lower-body agility to elude the jam and is very intentional with his steps and body language, which allows him to gain vertical separation or detach at the top of routes. He isn’t the most natural hands-catcher (10. 3 percent drop rate in 2025), although he will benefit from a more receiver-friendly quarterback in the NFL.
