We will be covering four picks for the Cleveland Browns in this year’s DBN Community NFL Mock Draft. Earlier in the draft at No. 6 overall, DE Rueben Bain was picked by the Browns, although that happened prior to the recent news about him coming out. What about No. 24 overall? That is included in today’s mock draft post. We are releasing four picks at a time in one post to give you more substance to digest how the draft is unfolding. Here you can see all of our NFL mock draft coverage for the Cleveland Browns.

• Picks 1-4 of the Mock Draft
• Picks 5-8 of the Mock Draft
• Picks 9-12 of the Mock Draft
• Picks 13-16 of the Mock Draft
• Picks 17-20 of the Mock Draft

Now, let’s see what the 21-24 picks are.

No. 21 – Steelers – KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M

The selection and write-up were made by srubrownsfan:

The draft has fallen in a way the Steelers are not happy with. Their top selections of Ty Simpson and Olaivavega Ioane are already off the board. Their fallback plan is to fill another need in wide receiver.

While both Michael Pittman and DK Metcalf are on the roster, Roman Wilson proves not to be the player needed in the slot. KC Concepcion fills this role by providing a dynamic ability with RAC and route running abilities. Concepcion puts the rest of the AFC North in a challenging position to protect against a three-headed monster at the receiver position.

No. 22 – Chargers – T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

The selection and write-up were made by Any1mark:

The Chargers have several smaller issues on the interior line, at slot receiver, slot cornerback, and edge rusher. They had offensive line issues last year and Tyler Biadasz was added at center. CB Derwin James is up for a record contract also. I want a right guard here, but that is a reach. I’m wavering between LT Kadyn Proctor and best player available. Jermod McCoy missed the 2025 season. There are never enough edge rushers or cornerbacks. DE Cashius Howell has great numbers but T-Rex arms.

The biggest impact player available and healthy here is T.J. Parker. He brings first step quickness that shows in very high PFF grades against the run and pass. His 2024 season included 12 sacks; 2023 & 2025 6 sacks with a 14.5% win rate. Not bad for your third option in their rookie season. He plays some interior, but at 260 lbs in the pros, it makes it less likely unless it’s in stunts.

No. 23 – Eagles – Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana

The selection and write-up were made by Any1mark:

The Philadelphia Eagles have wants, not needs. Howie Roseman is almost always a ‘best player available’ or small reaches general manager. Jermod McCoy might be the BPA, but missed all 2025, even though cornerback is on shopping list. Edge rusher and wide receiver are also up for consideration.  Even with wide receiver drama and A.J. Brown on mythical trade block, offers aren’t there yet.  T.J. Parker would have been great here, but went with the previous pick. McCoy with great medicals would lock this down.

Omar Cooper is a very good and solid receiver. He can fit in Slot & Z with little change in production.  He had three drops in 2025 and PFF has him as 4th in broken tackles for receivers in 2025. He does not have elite RAS, but it’s good enough to cause some serious issues sitting across from Brown.

No. 24 – Browns – Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

The selection and write-up were made by srubrownsfan:

The Browns feel the pressure to take a left tackle or wide receiver at No. 24 after going with defensive end at No. 6. While giving initial thought to a receiver, the remaining prospects at left tackle seem to drop off after Kadyn Proctor.

The addition of George Warhop, one of legend Joe Thomas’ favorite coaches, helps the Browns feel comfortable taking Proctor. This frees up Dawand Jones to be a GREAT swing tackle after failing to complete a full year in the Browns’ lineup since being drafted. The bookends for the offensive line are now in place for years to come as the Browns’ offensive makeover continues.

Up next will be the 25-28 picks in the 2026 DBN Community Mock Draft.
