Browns’ 3-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Cleveland finds needed offensive talent after hiring Todd Monken as new head coach
The Browns have a new head coach, so let’s get into a new mock draft.
The Cleveland Browns have their new head coach following the franchise’s decision to hire former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
Monken will now bring his offensive system to Cleveland, a team that needs a whole lot more talent on that side of the football. Cleveland kicked it out of the park in the 2025 NFL Draft and they need to do it again this April to speed up the process.
Let’s run through a 3-round mock draft with the Monken hire official.
Round 1, Pick 6: Makai Lemon, WR, USC
The Browns need an influx of talent on the offensive side of the football that can make explosive plays. Lemon was the Biletenkoff Award winner after a standout season at USC and may be the best wide receiver talent in the draft. Lemon could be used in a multitude of ways by Monken to bring a whole lot of new to a team that needs it.
Round 1, Pick 24: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Cleveland has invested multiple draft picks in the trenches this season and Lomu could have a chance to start on Day 1. Lomu may be a future guard over tackle, either way the Browns’ offensive line is going to look way different in 2026. The Browns could have as many as five new starters up front.
Round 2, Pick 39: KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
Doubling up at wide receiver should be in the cards for the Browns. Concepcion brings game-breaking speed with the ball in his hands and the Browns need more of that. Outside of Jerry Jeudy, there just isn’t much proven in the wide receiver room.
Round 3, Pick 70: Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt
Harold Fannin Jr. was the top pass catcher for the Browns as a rookie tight end with over 700 receiving yards and showed he’s the future at the position. David Njoku could be gone in free agency and the Browns should look to continue adding there. Stowers is a matchup problem like Fannin and puts pressure on the defense.
