We have reached Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft for the Cleveland Browns, with today’s action kicking off tonight at 7:00 pm ET. The first round on Thursday saw Cleveland make a trade (which helped them add an additional pick today), but still come away with an offensive lineman-wide receiver combination. What will Friday have in store for us? Follow the live blog throughout the day for all of the latest!
We will have all of your Browns-related coverage on the draft here at Dawgs By Nature throughout the weekend. This thread will act as a “live blog,” with updates about the latest small rumors, picks, or trades involving Cleveland or other NFL teams. You should also use the comments section as your NFL Draft open thread! (Newest updates will be at the top of the live blog below)
Browns NFL Draft Live Blog
10:05 AM: We have a bunch of Day 2 coverage for you.
- Barry Shuck looked at some of the top prospects available (with some alignment to the Browns’ needs) who they might be considering with their second- and third-round picks.
- Matthew Wilson broke down why OT Spencer Fano is “a perfect fit for the Browns’ offensive line.”
- He also broke down why WR KC Concepcion “makes so much sense for Cleveland.”
Speaking of Concepcion, here is what Pro Football Focus said about the pick after it was made:
9:57 AM: The Browns’ currently own one second-round pick and two third-round picks this evening. If there’s a player Cleveland likes near the end of the second round, they could always try to package those two third-round picks together to see if someone bites.
- Round 2, Pick 39
- Round 3, Pick 70
- Round 3, Pick 74 (from the Chiefs)
Teams will have 7 minutes to make selections in the 2nd round and 5 minutes to make selections in the 3rd round.
8:30 AM: Good morning again, Browns fans! Yesterday, I made the drive from Cleveland to Pittsburgh to enjoy the NFL Draft Experience, and then drove back to Cleveland. I’m hoping to have a video tour of the draft festivities for you to watch today, but in the mean time, let’s recap what general manager Andrew Berry was able to accomplish:
- While on the clock at No. 6, the Browns moved back three spots via a trade with the Chiefs, which allowed Cleveland to add a 3rd and 5th round pick in this year’s draft. No offensive linemen had been taken up until that point, so the Browns knew they’d still be able to get a top tackle at No. 9, which they did in the form of Utah’s Spencer Fano.
- A few wide receivers came off the board before the Browns’ next pick, but they stayed at No. 24 and took wide receiver KC Concepcion, which is who I had Cleveland select during the SB Nation mock draft.
Fans have been grading each of the Browns’ first round selections, and we’ll reveal the results later today. Be sure to get your vote in this morning!
