The Cleveland Browns had a very active offseason, with the bulk of their moves coming along the offensive line to bolster a group that was all but barren following 2025.

Tytus Howard, Teven Jenkins, Elgton Jenkins, and Zion Johnson were big moves for the Browns. But, they have some clear needs still along the OL, along with big holes elsewhere on the roster.
In ESPN's latest mock draft, which was a three-rounder, Field Yates, Jordan Reid, and Matt Miller combined to give the Browns a solid haul, as they picked up two offensive linemen, one cornerback, and one much-needed wide receiver.

At the sixth pick, Miller has the Browns selecting Makai Lemon, the USC wide receiver. Cleveland has already added youth at tight end and running back in the last year, and now it's the WR room's turn for a youth movement, beginning with Lemon.
Down the board at the 24th pick in Round 1, Yates has the Browns taking their first offensive lineman in Alabama's Kadyn Proctor.
"I'm dubious that Proctor will fall to this point in Round 1, and I wrote last week that he could even sneak into the top 10 by April 23," Yates writes. "But in this exercise, the Browns can fill their other top need with the gigantic Proctor after taking Lemon at No. 6."

With the Browns' second-round pick, Reid has Cleveland landing their second lineman, this time, interior offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon from Oregon. He'd compete for a starting job with Teven Jenkins for a starting guard job in 2026 in this scenario.
Finally, in round three, Miller has the Browns taking cornerback Keith Abney II out of Arizona. He's a good helper for the Browns' secondary, which has some questions beyond Denzel Ward this upcoming season.
Coming out of the 2026 NFL Draft with Makai Lemon at WR, Kadyn Proctor at OT, Emmanuel Pregnon at OG, and Keith Abney II at cornerback would help resolve all of the Browns' biggest needs.
