Each had the immediate ability to impact the roster from day one. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ESPN\u2019s NFL Draft documentary revealed Andrew Berry traded out of No. 6 overall because Spencer Fano, Jordyn Tyson, and Francis Mauigoa were all available and the Browns were guaranteed to get one of those players at No. 9 overall. <\/p>\n<p>As we know, it was Fano over Mauigoa.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nick Pedone (@NickPedone12) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickPedone12\/status\/2051082336817615099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6x\">And although they didn&#8217;t end up with Tyson or Mauigoa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/browns\/onsi\/cleveland-browns-spencer-fano-pick-and-trade-back-nfl-draft-grade-01kpyh66f36x\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they were able to pick up Fano out of Utah<\/a>, who many in the organization were still incredibly high on. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"70\">\u201cWe\u2019re getting the best tackle in this entire draft,\u201d Browns national scout Zach Ayers said in <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nfl\/article\/inside-cleveland-browns-nfl-draft-room-where-trade-calls-keep-phones-ringing-and-high-speed-databases-whir-183752960.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an article done on a behind-the-scenes look into the draft room. <\/a>\u201cThis kid&#8217;s rare combination of athleticism, quickness, strength, and his ability to excel on pass protection is truly something special. He&#8217;s an excellent run blocker. He&#8217;s gritty, he&#8217;s tough, he\u2019s rangy. And the most important thing: This is the best person in the entire draft. This is one of the highest-character guys I&#8217;ve done in the 10 years I&#8217;ve been on the road. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\">&#8220;And whatever goal or expectation we have of Spencer as a person, his goals and expectations are going to be higher than ours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">Fano is expected to start for the Browns&#8217; offensive line by the time Week One rolls around, especially as the team looks to open a new chapter in the trenches following last season&#8217;s struggles. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">The decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandbrowns.com\/news\/browns-trade-no-6-pick-to-the-chiefs-in-exchange-for-no-9-pick\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">make a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs <\/a>and move down in the draft allowed them to avoid coming to a verdict on three players, but instead just two. Sometimes, that helps ease the front office&#8217;s mind and helps keep them from making a brash decision, all while getting extra picks back in return.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">From the Chiefs, the Browns were able to secure the No. 74 selection in the third round and the No. 148 pick in the fifth round. Those two ended up being flipped around for different picks later on, giving them further draft capital in both this year and next year&#8217;s draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">However, seeing the inner workings of Berry&#8217;s mindset shows that the Browns weren&#8217;t just considering talent up front on the line, but also outside the hashes. Fortunately, although the organization wasn&#8217;t able to land <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/browns\/onsi\/news\/jordyn-tyson-wants-to-join-brother-in-cleveland-after-meeting-with-browns-01kjfqcrxjnq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the brother of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jaylon Tyson<\/a>, they did end up with two talented wideouts in Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Different leagues.
