The Browns will once again hold a top 10 pick in the draft for the second year in a row.
With the 2025 regular season wrapping up, the Browns officially landed the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Cleveland finished the 2025 season with a 5-12 record, ending the season with back-to-back wins over division rivals in Week 17 and 18, beating the Steelers and the Bengals.
"There's a lot of work to be done with this entire draft class," Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry said on Jan. 5.
The Browns held a top 10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, first earning the second overall pick. Then, ahead of the draft, Berry executed a trade with the Jaguars to move down three spots to the fifth overall pick and selected DT Mason Graham.
Graham played an integral on the interior of the defensive line during his rookie season and started all 17 games. He recorded 49 tackles, seven tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, a half of a sack and four passes defensed.
The Browns have a second first-round pick obtained in the trade with the Jaguars ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, which will be settled when Jacksonville's playoff run ends or at the conclusion of the postseason. With the Jaguars finishing the 2025 regular season with a 13-4 record, the highest the pick can be in the first round is 24th.
Outside of their two first-round picks, the Browns also hold their own picks in Rounds 2-5. They 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). Cleveland has a total of 10 draft picks heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.
