Key points
- Browns moved up in NFL Power Rankings after 2026 draft
- Ranked #30 by ESPN and #27 by NFL.com
- Selected two wide receivers and a tackle in the draft
- Draft aimed to improve offensive lineup
- Fans remain hopeful despite previous seasons
- #30, up from #32 The Browns didnât make a major receiver signing in free agency but double-dipped in the draft, selecting two wideouts with top-40 picks. KC Concepcion (No. 24) is a dynamic pass-catcher; 79% of his receptions resulted in a first down, which ranked 17th in the FBS last season. Denzel Boston (No. 39) is a big-bodied target who should complement Concepcion well; Bostonâs 24 contested catches since 2024 were 10th most in the FBS. **NFL.comâs NFL Power Rankings**
- #27, up from #28 I think itâs time we acknowledge that Andrew Berry has a great feel for the draft. After last yearâs banner class, the bar was set pretty darned high, but *none*of Clevelandâs 10 picks drew side-eye from me. Not a single one. The Browns needed to bolster the offensive line, and they did exactly that. They added two receivers who should very much be in the top-four mix in Year 1, perhaps even starting. Trading up for safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was savvy. But boy, itâs been fun watching them draft over the past couple years. **Fox Sports NFL Power Rankings**
- #30, up from #31 Let the offensive rebuild begin with a much-needed tackle (Spencer Fano at No. 9) and two talented receivers (KC Concepcion at No. 24 and Denzel Boston in Round 2). So, whoever their QB is will have help. Oh, and competition, since Cleveland took yet another QB â Arkansasâ Taylen Green in Round 6. Thatâs three in two drafts! **Sports Illustrated/Conor Orrâs NFL Power Rankings**
- #26 Some movement, not a lot, in the upward direction is a sign that Browns fans are alone in their hope and hype coming out of this yearâs draft. Unfortunately, with back-to-back seasons selecting near the top of the NFL draft, Cleveland has a long way to go before there is a lot of power in their rankings. ***In what range would you rank the Browns at this point in time after the NFL draft and a couple of months before the start of training camp?*** *Share your thoughts in the comment section below*
