The offseason continues along, as the East-West Shrine Bowl and the Panini Senior Bowl wrapped up to end the month of January to continue draft prep.
The next steppingstone in the draft process will come in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, set for Feb. 23-March 2. The week-long event brings coaches, general managers, front office members and scouts to evaluate workouts and conduct interviews with draft prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft in April.
The Browns continue their preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft, in which they hold 10 picks. Those picks include two in the first round at No. 6 and No. 24, as well as their own picks in Rounds 2-5. In addition, they also have a fifth-round pick from Las Vegas (QB Kenny Pickett trade), a fifth-round pick from Cincinnati (QB Joe Flacco trade), a sixth-round pick from Chicago (DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka trade) and a seventh-round pick from Seattle (C Nick Harris trade).
Let's take a look at another set of early mock drafts to see who the draft experts and analysts believe could be options for the Browns for their two first-round picks.
No. 6 pick: Edge David Bailey, Texas Tech
Analysis: Jeremiah believes that the Browns should consider the best player available at this pick and describes Bailey has having the best get-off of any pass rushers in this year's draft class. In his lone season at Texas Tech, Bailey recorded 52 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks.
No. 24 pick: OT Kadyn Proctor, Alabama
Analysis: Jeremiah describes Proctor's size at 6-foot-7, 360 lbs. as an advantage to line up on the opposite side at tackle to Browns T Dawand Jones. Proctor played a significant role on Alabama's offensive line at left tackle in 2025, recording 901 snaps.
No. 6 pick: OT Spencer Fano, Utah
Analysis: Miller writes that Fano has experience at both left and right tackle who only allowed three sacks in his last 24 starts. He offers position flexibility as the Browns work through the outlook of their offensive line.
No. 24 pick: WR Denzel Boston, Washington
Analysis: Miller describes Boston as having an elite ability to win at the catch point. Over his four seasons at Washington, Boston totaled 132 receptions for 1,781 receiving yards. He scored 20 touchdowns over his final two seasons and brings size and play speed that can help him on win on the outside.
No. 6 pick: OT Caleb Lomu, Utah
Analysis: Brooks describes Lomu as an athletic edge blocker who can use his hands and feet to shadowbox speed rushers. Lomu played 25 total games at Utah, including 22 starts.
No. 24 pick: WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
Analysis: Brooks writes that Concepcion is an electric playmaker with ball skills and an elite run-after-the-catch talent. He finished the 2025 season with 61 receptions for 919 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
No. 6 pick: OT Spencer Fano, Utah
Analysis: Baumgardner describes Fano as his favorite offensive lineman in this year's draft class, writing that he has potential at right of left tackle.
No. 24 pick: WR Denzel Boston, Washington
Analysis: Baumgardner writes that Boston is a "big receiver who runs like a small receiver (with great ball skills)" and would be a solid addition to the wide receiver corps. At 6-foot-4, 209 lbs., Boston had his best season in 2025 when he recorded 881 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns on 62 receptions.
