The Cleveland Browns drafted two players, Utah offensive tackle Spencer Jones and Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion, at No. 9 and No. 24, respectively.
But, while the Concepcion pick was not moved during the draft, the Fano pick was the result of a trade. Originally picking No. 6 overall, the Browns dropped down three spots with the Kansas City Chiefs.
ESPN's Jordan Reid called that trade for the Browns the best move of the entire 2026 NFL Draft. While there were plenty of good picks, the Andrew Berry trading down three picks, adding extra capital, and still getting their top option was incredible business.

"What was the best trade up, down or for a player during Round 1? The Browns trading down and still getting OT Spencer Fano," Reid writes.
Cleveland traded the No. 6 pick to the Chiefs so Kansas City could move up and draft LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. It was a mild surprise, as Delane hadn't been thought of as a trade-up target pre-draft.
