After coming away from the first night of the 2026 NFL Draft with a pair of building blocks in Spencer Fano and KC Concepcion, the Cleveland Browns continued to add quality talent to the roster on Friday night.
With their first pick of the night (No. 39 overall in the second round), the Browns selected Washington WR Denzel Boston, a big-bodied receiver who will bring much needed physicality to Cleveland’s receiving corps. They later traded up in the second round with San Francisco to select Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 58 overall, a rangy and versatile safety who plays some amped-up football, like Boston, will bring a ton of physicality to his unit. Both Boston and McNeil-Warren had round one buzz coming into the weekend.
The Browns capped off the night by selecting some offensive line depth in the third round, trading up again to grab Florida offensive tackle Austin Barber with the 86th pick.
After doing good work through to start the weekend, the Browns head into the third and final day of the 2026 draft with five more selections, including four fifth-round picks, so they could be active early and often on Saturday.
With the first 100 picks in the books, here’s a look at the best remaining talent on the board entering Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Like Friday, this is based on the big board assembled by Cory Kinnan on Daft on Draft, which you can check out here. 25 of Kinnan’s initial top 100 prospects in this draft are still remaining, headlined by star cornerback Jermod McCoy, whose injury issues have created one of the more stunning draft slides in recent memory.
