It was another disappointing season in Cleveland for a fanbase that has had a rough experience since the turn of the century.
The difference now is that Cleveland broke the playoff drought in 2020 and secured its first win since 1994. It made the playoffs again in 2023 before the team took a turn for the worse.
Now with the draft at hand and two first round picks in tow, the Cleveland Browns have a chance to rewrite the script in 2026. The Browns will get the No. 6, No. 24 and No. 39 picks in the draft, a prime opportunity to develop a young core.
The Sporting News is tracking each of the Browns' 2026 NFL Draft selections, from the first through the seventh round.
The Browns will select nine players in the 2026 NFL Draft:

Find Shedeur some targets: Wide receiver is the position of need for the Browns in this draft class and they have the pick number to potentially get the best on the market in Carnell Tate. If the Browns choose to trade down or wait until their second pick, they could still end up with some elite receivers, including USC's Makai Lemon or Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr.
Offensive tackle: The Browns have a clear need to rehaul parts of their offensive structure. In 2025, the Browns' offense was 30th in the NFL in total yards and 27th in rushing yards. Most of this falls on the offensive line, with OT being a point of emphasis in Cleveland. With two first round picks, a receiver and a tackle could be a likely combination
More offensive line additions: The issues don't end at OT for Cleveland, who is likely to seek out a guard as well. While Cleveland's offensive line could benefit from multiple new additions, it's unclear what order they will be targeted. Don't be surprised, however, if Cleveland drafts a guard on Thursday.
