Even their trade down at the top of the 2026 NFL draft was nowhere near as big as the one they made in 2025 .

Big moves do not always equate to victories, especially for the Browns. Instead, GM Andrew Berry made moves that raised the floor of the team with veteran additions, then worked some magic in the draft. Berry’s moves have fans and the national media looking at Cleveland’s future in a more positive way.

The biggest moves have come on the offensive side of the ball with the addition of a whole new offensive line and some key weapons: LT Spencer Fano LG Zion Johnson C Parker Brailsford RG Elgton Jenkins (who could also play center) RT Tytus Howard WR KC Concepcion WR Denzel Boston According to The Athletic , the Browns offseason is one of the top nine, and the second-best among rebuilding teams: Their biggest issue of the offseason was having to replace their entire offensive line. General manager Andrew Berry deserves a ton of credit for his work in that department. Trading for Tytus Howard gives them a strong starter with position flexibility, and drafting Spencer Fano gives them an athletic blindside protector.

Interior linemen Elgton Jenkins and Tevin Jenkins have injury histories, but the Browns had to take some risks. Last year, the Browns knocked it out of the park with their draft, as multiple picks showed they can be plus starters. This year, they’ve seemed to have done it again with Fano and completely rebuilding their receiving corps with KC Concepcion, the most explosive receiver in the draft, and Denzel Boston, who gives them a complementary big X receiver.
