The Super Bowl taking place Sunday night put a bow on the 2025 NFL season. Teams like the Cleveland Browns have been in offseason mode since the first week of January. 

Cleveland made an offensive hire with Todd Monken as the head coach, and righting the offense has to be the main point of emphasis this offseason. 

Following the Super Bowl last night where the Seattle Seahawks imposed their will on the offensive line of the New England Patriots, it’s clear what the Browns need to do. The offensive line is where the Browns have to get better, and I have them putting major investment toward it in my latest 2-round 2026 NFL mock draft. 

Round 1, Pick 6: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami 

Taking the best offensive lineman in the draft is a huge win for the draft here at No. 6 overall. Mauigoa can either work out at right tackle where he’s been a standout for Miami, or he can end up being a high-end guard. Either way, the Browns would be filling a need on their offensive line with a long-term answer. Cleveland could end up having as many as five new starting offensive linemen next season.

Round 1, Pick 24: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Doubling up on offensive linemen in the first round of the draft should be on the table. The worst unit on Cleveland’s team last year was the offensive line. Lomu can step in and compete to be the left tackle on Day 1. Lomu battling it out with Dawand Jones would be an ideal training camp competition. 

Round 2, Pick 39: Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee

Another Tennessee wide receiver may not be what Browns fans want to see, given how Cedric Tillman has worked out. Brazzell is a big target at 6-foot-5 who was productive in college with two seasons of at least 700 yards. Brazzell is a Day 2 target and the Browns badly need more weapons on offense. Adding size here would be welcomed.
