The Cleveland Browns<\/a> enter the 2026 NFL Draft in need of an infusion of youth. Ahead of the draft, everybody is popping out mock drafts.<\/p>\n

That is no different over at the Daft on Draft podcast<\/a>, a podcast dedicated to year-round NFL Draft content. In this new mock draft<\/a>, the hosts of the podcast spun a wheel before every pick that had the options of a normal pick, a reach, or a trade for the picker to have to abide by.<\/p>\n

In a fun, new twist to a mock draft, who did the Browns land?<\/p>\n

Browns come on the clock at Pick No. 6<\/p>\n

While the Browns would love to trade the pick, they spun a normal pick on the wheel when they came on the clock with the sixth overall pick. With that pick, the Browns landed Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate<\/a>. In need of a wide receiver to upgrade one of the worst rooms in the NFL, Tate goes a long way and gives the Browns an ideal ball winner<\/a> down the field.<\/p>\n

That was only their first pick in this mock draft.<\/p>\n

Browns then get their offensive tackle<\/p>\n

After a run on tackles, the Browns came back on the clock with the 24th overall pick in the draft.<\/p>\n

With this selection, the Browns took Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu. Needing a left tackle of the future, Lomu gives the Browns a young and athletic big man to mold. Lomu’s best football is still ahead of him as well. This completes a revamped offensive line from the Browns after a stale unit over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

They aren’t done yet!<\/p>\n

With the 32nd pick in the mock draft, the Seattle Seahawks spun a trade. With Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren still on the board, a player the Browns have spent a ton of time with pre-draft, the Browns struck a deal with the Seahawks to come back on the clock for their third first round pick in this mock draft.<\/p>\n

McNeil-Warren gives the Browns a safety under contract beyond the 2026 season, and a talented one at that. Defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg rejoices.<\/p>\n
