The Cleveland Browns are already earning high marks for their 2026 NFL draft class, and one of the most respected analysts in the business just gave them the highest grade possible.
Trevor Sikkema, the host of the NFL Stock Exchange, handed the Browns an A+ for their draft—the only A+ he gave out this year. It's a strong follow-up to their 2025 class, which produced the defensive rookie of the year on paper and set a high bar for the franchise.
Speaking on 92.3 The Fan, Sikkema highlighted the team's first four picks, all of whom ranked in the top 31 on his personal big board. But his favorite selection? Wide receiver Denzel Boston, taken in the second round.
"This is the only A+ draft that I had," Sikkema said. "I guess my favorite's Denzel Boston. You fast forward the clock a year or two years from now, I bet KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston are the WR1 and WR2. I think they're building the whole passing attack around these guys...and you throw Harold Fannin Jr in there as well."
For Browns fans, this kind of praise from a respected analyst is a promising sign. The team is clearly stockpiling young talent, especially in the receiving corps, and building a foundation that could pay off big in the seasons to come. Whether you're looking for the next breakout star or just want to rep your team's future, this draft class is one to watch.
