Man City survives a scare from Southampton to secure FA Cup final spot!
The Cleveland Browns selected center Parker Brailsford from Alabama with the 146th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Brailsford, a two-year starter, is noted for his agility and potential as a starter in zone-based schemes.

Here is a scouting report from The Athletic’s **Dane Brugler**, who had Brailsford as the 7th-ranked center prospect on his board in this year’s draft class:
A two-year starter at Alabama (and three-year starter overall), Brailsford was the center (right-handed snapper) in offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb’s zone-based scheme. He was a key part of Washington’s Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line in 2023, which helped the Huskies reach the national championship game. He then anchored the Tide’s offensive line the past two seasons.
A twitched-up big man, Brailsford fires out of his stance to cut off pass-rush angles or reach in the run game. He lacks the mass and power to manhandle defenders but plays stronger than his size would indicate, and his long wingspan is an asset for him. His range can be weaponized on screens/pulls/climbs, though he needs to be more consistent picking off targets in space. Overall, Brailsford will only appeal to certain teams, because of his frame, but he is light on his feet, tough as nails and can handle everything from a mental standpoint. He has the potential to be a starter for a scheme living in an outside-zone world.
Parker Brailsford is a center from Alabama, standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 290 pounds, and he was a two-year starter for the Crimson Tide.
The Cleveland Browns drafted Parker Brailsford to play center, adding depth to their offensive line.
Brailsford provides the Browns with more options at center, complementing existing players like Luke Wypler and Elgton Jenkins as they overhaul their offensive line.

Cleveland continues to overhaul the offensive line. This one-season complete overhaul is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in all my years as a fan. **Parker Brailsford** gives the Browns more options to consider at the center position. They have **Luke Wypler** and **Elgton Jenkins** on the roster already, but it’s possible that Jenkins ends up playing guard.
