Browns NFL Draft: Why taking OT Kadyn Proctor at No. 6 is a legitimate scenario
The Cleveland Browns have done an excellent job at attacking the offensive line throughout free agency so far, but one main question still remains. Who the heck is going to play left tackle? When it comes to the free agent additions, it “feels” like Elgton Jenkins is going to play left guard, Zion Johnson right […]
Sunday Dawg Chow (4/12): Finding joy in draft shenanigans
The NFL is deep into preparations for the 2026 NFL Draft, which means it is time for smokescreens, leaked reports about players rising or falling on draft boards, and the usual shenanigans associated with draft season. The Cleveland Browns are always in the mix because, as “everyone knows,” general manager Andrew Berry can’t resist making […]
NFL Draft Profile: RB Cash Jones, Georgia
The Cleveland Browns appear to be comfortable at the running back position heading into the 2026 season. Quinshon Judkins, who led the Browns in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns as a rookie, is reportedly progressing well in his recovery from his season-ending leg injury in 2025. Dylan Sampson flashed enough in limited opportunities as a […]
Browns mock draft: 2 All-Offense versions, 1 with Cowboys trade down
We are at the point in the 2026 NFL draft cycle where almost everyone has an exact idea of what they either want, don’t want, and/or expect to happen for the Cleveland Browns. There are obvious things that the media and fans are not aware of, including everyone who has been in for one of […]
NFL draft: 3 vital pieces of information that media, fans don’t have on prospects
For all of the great information that is available around the NFL draft, there are just things we do not know. We can profile players from the top of the draft, late first-round options, all the way down to a late-round steal possibility, and still not come close to knowing what NFL teams know. Fans […]
NFL draft history: Who was the Browns’ best first-round draft pick ever?
Even with their reputation for dysfunction and draft misfires, the Cleveland Browns have landed several first-round picks in NFL drafts that became key building blocks for the franchise’s future. While they really missed with picks like Johnny Manziel and Justin Gilbert, there are a few positives throughout the team’s history. In 1957, with the sixth pick in the draft, […]
NFL draft: Browns have predraft workout with “money” versatile prospect
The NFL draft has become a sport of its own, combining the passion of college football with the overwhelming popularity of the NFL into one event. Fans from colleges want to see where their favorite players are going to play at the next level, while fans of teams, especially of the Cleveland Browns, are looking […]

Browns Draft profile: LB Sonny Styles would add strength to strength in CLE
The Cleveland Browns’ defense was ranked #4 last year. Their pass rush was basically limited to Myles Garrett breaking the single-season sack record. What if the team brought in another elite pass rusher? The Browns need a guy who can eat up space, contest passes, and close on the ball quickly. This new guy will […]
Saturday Dawg Chow (4/11): Feeling good about the draft?
The NFL is now less than two weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft. It will be three days in Pittsburgh (blech!) that could change the fortunes of the Cleveland Browns, as general manager Andrew Berry has two first-round selections and four of the first 70 selections overall. (Something has to eventually go right for […]
Browns NFL draft: List of known predraft visits, history shows they matter in CLE
In two weeks, the first round of the 2026 NFL draft will have just finished, and Cleveland Browns fans will be discussing how the team used their two (or three) first-round picks to continue to build the foundation of the roster. At this time last year, the Browns had all but finalized their trade down […]
Browns NFL draft: Terrific small-school running back prospect is a late-round option
The Cleveland Browns selected two young running backs in last year’s NFL draft. Quinshon Judkins of Ohio State had a great year before he became injured. He was voted to the NFL All-Rookie Team. At the same time, Dylan Sampson, who had been named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year while playing for Tennessee, […]
Daily Dawg Chow 4/10; Todd Monken setting the tone for Browns offseason
The latest Cleveland Browns coverage from Dawgs By Nature: From the Feed: Glenn Bam Caudill brought over an article from the team’s official site into The Feed.

NFL Draft Profile: DT, Kayden McDonald, Ohio State
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry gets grief for an inability to find a decent wide receiver, but he has been pretty successful when it comes to acquiring defensive tackles. A year ago, the club drafted Mason Graham in the first round and signed Maliek Collins as a free agent. Together, they formed a stout […]
Browns NFL draft: Update on ‘top’ tackle prospect has newly reported ‘minor back issue’
Generally, the last two weeks before the upcoming NFL draft are full of smokescreens, rumors, and a lot of uncertainty. Besides the reports of predraft visits, very little new information is reported, and almost none of it is believable this late in the process, but the Cleveland Browns and their fans need to pay attention. […]
2026 NFL Mock Draft: Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins, Cowboys: Defense wins championships?
I was surprised by how fans reacted to the Browns taking a defensive player with the No. 6 pick in the previous mock draft post. Now, we continue on with more of the 2026 DBN Community NFL Mock Draft. We are releasing four picks at a time in one post to give you more substance […]
Browns Draft Profile: S Jalen Huskey would help depth, options
The Cleveland Browns will need a high-level processor on the back end to pair with Grant Delpit. The safety is now short with Ronnie Hickman, a restricted free agent, and may or may not return, even as he is in attendance for offseason programming. What the defense needs is an explosive athlete with vertical push […]
Browns fans: Bother you that Myles Garrett does not attend voluntary workouts?
Every offseason, Cleveland Browns fans inevitably debate the true significance of OTAs (Organized Team Activities), even with the word “voluntary” a part of it, and the extent to which they matter for individual players. That same argument doesn’t apply to every player, as each one is in a unique situation shaped by position, age, health, […]

The 2026 NFL draft is right around the corner. At least, it’s just over two weeks, which might feel like an eternity for Cleveland Browns fans who are hoping for another cornerstone draft class to build the future upon. A lot could happen in the last two weeks, including a new report on a back […]
NFL Draft Profile: DE Keldric Faulk, Auburn
The Cleveland Browns got by in 2025 with a defensive end rotation of Alex Wright, Cameron Thomas, and Isaiah McGuire, where the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. That could be the plan again this season, though new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg may be itching for something better, especially since the offense […]

With the 2026 NFL draft just 15 days away, the Cleveland Browns have more life and activity in their facilities with the start of the offseason program.

Browns news: Interesting weapon on predraft visit to Cleveland
Over the years, the Cleveland Browns have been very good at hiding many of their predraft visits to Berea. Teams are not required to divulge that information, which means agents or the players themselves are often the source when the information leaks. For example, last year, QB Dillon Gabriel was brought into town and the […]
