Browns Draft profile: LB Jacob Rodriguez can pair long-term with CLE’s DROY

The Cleveland Browns want to keep their #4 defensive ranking. New head coach Todd Monken knows this roster has a jewel in what Jim Schwartz built.

Sunday Dawg Chow (4/12): Finding joy in draft shenanigans

The NFL is deep into preparations for the 2026 NFL Draft, which means it is time for smokescreens, leaked reports about players rising or falling on draft boards, and the usual shenanigans associated with draft season. The Cleveland Browns are always in the mix because, as “everyone knows,” general manager Andrew Berry can’t resist making […]

NFL Draft Profile: RB Cash Jones, Georgia

The Cleveland Browns appear to be comfortable at the running back position heading into the 2026 season. Quinshon Judkins, who led the Browns in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns as a rookie, is reportedly progressing well in his recovery from his season-ending leg injury in 2025.  Dylan Sampson flashed enough in limited opportunities as a […]

Browns mock draft: 2 All-Offense versions, 1 with Cowboys trade down

We are at the point in the 2026 NFL draft cycle where almost everyone has an exact idea of what they either want, don’t want, and/or expect to happen for the Cleveland Browns. There are obvious things that the media and fans are not aware of, including everyone who has been in for one of […]

NFL draft history: Who was the Browns’ best first-round draft pick ever?

Even with their reputation for dysfunction and draft misfires, the Cleveland Browns have landed several first-round picks in NFL drafts that became key building blocks for the franchise’s future. While they really missed with picks like Johnny Manziel and Justin Gilbert, there are a few positives throughout the team’s history. In 1957, with the sixth pick in the draft, […]

Browns Draft profile: LB Sonny Styles would add strength to strength in CLE

The Cleveland Browns’ defense was ranked #4 last year. Their pass rush was basically limited to Myles Garrett breaking the single-season sack record. What if the team brought in another elite pass rusher? The Browns need a guy who can eat up space, contest passes, and close on the ball quickly. This new guy will […]

Saturday Dawg Chow (4/11): Feeling good about the draft?

The NFL is now less than two weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft.  It will be three days in Pittsburgh (blech!) that could change the fortunes of the Cleveland Browns, as general manager Andrew Berry has two first-round selections and four of the first 70 selections overall.

NFL Draft Profile: DT, Kayden McDonald, Ohio State

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry gets grief for an inability to find a decent wide receiver, but he has been pretty successful when it comes to acquiring defensive tackles. A year ago, the club drafted Mason Graham in the first round and signed Maliek Collins as a free agent. Together, they formed a stout […]

Browns Draft Profile: S Jalen Huskey would help depth, options

The Cleveland Browns will need a high-level processor on the back end to pair with Grant Delpit. The safety is now short with Ronnie Hickman, a restricted free agent, and may or may not return, even as he is in attendance for offseason programming. What the defense needs is an explosive athlete with vertical push […]

Browns fans: Bother you that Myles Garrett does not attend voluntary workouts?

Every offseason, Cleveland Browns fans inevitably debate the true significance of OTAs (Organized Team Activities), even with the word “voluntary” a part of it, and the extent to which they matter for individual players. That same argument doesn’t apply to every player, as each one is in a unique situation shaped by position, age, health, […]

NFL Draft Profile: DE Keldric Faulk, Auburn

The Cleveland Browns got by in 2025 with a defensive end rotation of Alex Wright, Cameron Thomas, and Isaiah McGuire, where the whole was greater than the sum of the parts.  That could be the plan again this season, though new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg may be itching for something better, especially since the offense […]
