2026 browns mock draft after nfl trade deadline say hello to your new

With the NFL trade deadline in the rearview, an all new 2026 Cleveland Browns NFL mock draft brings a new offense The Cleveland Browns were far more inactive than many expected them to be as the 2025 NFL trade deadline passed. Unlike the New York Jets, who they face in Week 10, the Browns made a small move at the deadline after making multiple moves earlier in the season. Cleveland heads into Week 10 of the NFL season with their two first-round picks next year slotted in the sixth and 19th spots in the current order. The Browns have 10 draft picks in the 2026 NFL draft, with the possibility of one more as a part of the compensatory pick process, and eight scheduled for the 2027 NFL draft. The offense is the big concern in Cleveland with OC Tommy Rees taking over playcalling duties starting this week against the Jets.

There are a couple of building blocks with RB Quinshon Judkins and TE Harold Fannin Jr., but everything else is up in the air on that side of the ball. With that in mind, we bring you a 2026 Cleveland Browns Mock Draft using Pro Football Network’s Simulator. The NFL trade deadline has come and gone with minimal action from the Cleveland Browns. The only deadline move made by general manager Andrew Berry and Co. was to send reserve pass rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a seventh round to the Chicago Bears for a sixth round pick. However, teams elsewhere (namely, Cleveland's Week 10 opponent, the New York Jets) shook up the 2026 NFL Draft landscape.

The Indianapolis Colts no longer have a first round pick after acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner from the Jets, giving them two to work with as they compete with the Browns in a race for... So, who did the Browns land with their two first round picks in this mock draft? You can find it on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. The Cleveland Browns largely chose to sit on the sidelines at the 2025 NFL trade deadline, as the only move they pulled off was a late-round pick swap that also sent seldom-used former first-round... Even though the team is 2-6, the windfall of picks received in the Travis Hunter trade and the solid defensive infrastructure have Cleveland in a position to possibly start over at the quarterback position... The Browns have the ability to get this new quarterback multiple offensive linemen in addition to some pass-catchers that will be in town for the long haul.

Round 1, Pick 6: Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama With Indiana's Fernando Mendoza starting to separate as QB1, teams who need a signal-caller will likely be choosing between Simpson, Oregon's Dante Moore, and South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers. Moore has the stronger arm and better deep accuracy, but Simpson is just as good a prospect. The NFL Trade deadline has come and gone and for one NFL team it was highly eventful and impactful on the 2026 NFL Draft. The New York Jets didn’t just make one blockbuster trade, but two as they sent Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2026 first-round pick and Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for... That give the Jets quite a haul when it comes to draft capital as they serve as the third team with two first round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

How will the Jets, Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys play the board? It’s getting interesting especially with the top draft prospects starting to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. While quarterbacks are always the buzz at the top of the NFL Draft, it doesn’t mean they are the best players or even present as generational talent. The 2024 NFL Draft was one of the best when it comes to quarterbacks with franchise potential and although Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson are Dante Moore are sparking buzz, this is shaping up to... One of the top defenders in the nation is Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr., who would tempt a team like the New Orleans Saints to pass on QB to take a disruptor off the edge... There is also Ohio State defenders like Caleb Downs and Arvell Reese who can impact any NFL defense.

Technically, rookie Tyler Shough is the Saints' starter for the rest of the season. When New Orleans goes on the clock in the 2026 NFL Draft, Shough will almost certainly become the latest high-round pick whose team uses an even higher-round pick 12 months later in the hopes... The Panthers did it in 2011 when they took Cam Newton No. 1 overall, and the Cardinals did it eight years later when they selected Kyler Murray with the top pick. And as we sit here, nine weeks into the 2026 season, the Saints are staring that first-overall selection in the face. There will no doubt be discussions in the building about trading down and what such a draft haul might do to reset this roster, but if the organization feels that Fernando Mendoza or Ty...

Former Titans GM Ran Carthon and I talked about this last week on "With the First Pick," our NFL Draft podcast: In my Mock Draft 2.0, I have just three QBs going in the first round -- and one via trade; after trading down from No. 2 to No. 5 last April, the Browns move up from No. 6 to No. 2 in this excerise for a quarterback.

And much like the conversation surrounding Shough, it's fair to assume that neither Dylan Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders (or any other QB currently on Cleveland's roster) will be penciled in as the 2026 starter... The Cleveland Browns are thinking long-term. As they prepare to open their 2025 season against the Cincinnati Bengals, rumors are already swirling around their 2026 draft strategy. Per Bleacher Report’s latest mock (via ESPN’s Tony Grossi on September 6, 2025), the Browns will likely skip on quarterback and instead “target defense and O-line with two first-round picks” in 2026. .@TonyGrossi says he's willing to trade the Browns two 2026 1st round picks and a 2027 1st round pick to move up for a rookie QB in the 2026 NFL Draft 😯 Do you agree?

pic.twitter.com/xgEV9zR9Tp — ESPN Cleveland (@ESPNCleveland) September 3, 2025 The Browns enter 2026 armed with not one, but two first-round picks, their own and the Jacksonville Jaguars’, a powerful combination. Expectations are mounting that the front office will avoid trading them away to chase a quarterback.
