The Official 2026 NFL Draft Thread
-
Well, Sadiq, my first pick, was taken 16th.
and my OT pick, Max Iheanachor, OT, went to the squeelers.
So, let's look on the bright side - Fano can play both tackle spots,
has the ability to start fast, as compared to Freeling, who will take some time.
and, Fano was not there at the draft. Stayed home.
Guess what other OT the Browns drafted, that didn't go to the draft. lol
Joe Thomas.
Now, KC Concepcion - his drops are a concern...except it has to be said some of it can be his qb wasn't all that accurate.

"Reed's arm talent is average. His passes sail the further he pushes the football downfield. When throwing downfield, his passes lack control. Throw will get away from him as he muscles them into windows.
- His accuracy and ball placement are inconsistent from the pocket. Reed tends to put the ball in compromising positions. His ball placement doesn't consistently put his receivers out of coverage.
- Reed's footwork is unsettled and lacks calmness inside the pocket. He is consistently toesy and bouncy in the pocket, leading to inaccurate throws. Throwing from a sound and strong base will help improve his accuracy and ball placement"
so, I have a "wait and see" on Concepcion, he could turn out to be very, very exciting a wr for the Browns.
maybe.

Some of those 7 "drops" this year were balls most receivers would not have touched making them very difficult to catch. Reed was inconsistent as the A&M QB which is what cal points out. I think he'll work out fine when you add all the extra ST play to the mix. I think he saves us one ST position and maybe even 2. That allows us more room to have extras in other areas of critical need.
I'd like to see us use some of that draft capital we now have to move up for Boston.

I am not a fan of guys that drop passes. I would like to see him return punts though. It did seem like there were better options at Wr though
-
-
Sure, injuries got him but his attitude was his biggest problem.
Point being, WRs who are sub 6ft can thrive.

Boston or Hurst at WR or Kayden McDonald
should Be looked at tomorrow early

Or McNeill-Warren at safety, or the two Tennessee cornerbacks.

Boston might be a good complement to Concepcion, as would be Hurst.

Man, the Jets last night.
I have a feeling their fans are pretty psyched today.
Bailey, Sadiq and Cooper. My oh my.

In a perfect world the Browns add another OLineman (Center), a WR with size and a secondary player tonight.

Well Boston is still available right?... So lets see what happens... Every player drafted has some holes to their game. It comes down to what player can minimize or eliminate said holes..... I love this kids skill set.. I'm sure Tex loves him because he's an AGGIE.. What light can you shed on him Tex?... I wouldn't mind picking up that Gunnar kid or whatever his name is... The O line dude..

I think at the end of the day Fano will be a good to very good starting OLineman somewhere on the OLine. Not sure he's the answer at LTackle though.
I liked Concepcion all season long, but I really like Omar Cooper. Definitely going to be comparing the two in the seasons ahead.
Loved picking up the 3rd and 5th to get the guy I think they wanted all along. I'd like to see them be aggressive and trade up if they are targeting specific players if needed. This seems like a draft you want to get seven guys you really like over ten guys.

Exactly. The trade with the Chiefs gives us fire-power to get back into round 2 for a second dip if we wanted. I still want Boston. Do we want to move up from pick 7 in round 2 to snag him? We can do it now. I don't have a passion for drafting three 5th rounders. Let's use them to move up and get someone that we really want. - I'm looking forward to day 2's action.

CBS Sports gave us A+ overall and A+ for both our picks.
Cleveland Browns -- A+
Pick Player Grade R1 (9) -- via trade with Chiefs Spencer Fano -- OT, Utah A+ R1 (24) KC Concepcion -- WR, Texas A&M A+
-
Two "A+" picks makes the Browns the biggest winner of Day 1. Cleveland wanted to come out of the first round with an offensive lineman and a receiver, and it got both of them. Not only that, but it got terrific value. - CBS Sports
NFL.com also rated us an A
-
The Athletic gave us a B+ for both picks.
I gotta say l was a little surprised they didn’t go for Downs or Bain when both were still available at 9 after the trade down. If they were truly going for BPA wouldn’t you think one of those guys would’ve been the pick?
It occurred to me Berry is probably playing it safe to hang on to his job.

Totally agree using those picks to move up early. Unfortunately I will have to keep up via my phone since wifey scheduled an evening out for dinner with friends starting exactly when day 2 draft starts.
-
the 24 pick - the Browns gave KC Concepcion the opportunity to star with the Browns offense.
Watching his highlights - he really has that kind of ability, so I will be excited and have to admit I was one of those who overlooked him. Stuttering aside, and the drops rate aside.....he can really play - explosive, elusive and has some terrific instincts.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there are some front offices that rank Bain far lower than you would think

Evidently. I figure the “short arms” thing made a difference. He’s a wrecking ball on the D line though.
