Why
The defensive line is a priority after Alex Wright was placed on injured reserve, which leaves an opening in the starting lineup. The linebacker group also needs bodies, as recent cuts have exposed a lack of depth. The interior offensive line is another area of focus, with several depth players waived in recent weeks.

Track record read
Andrew Berry's Cleveland roster reflects a GM with little patience for early picks. The Browns have traded every first and second-round selection since 2022, an unprecedented move signaling an aggressive, all-in strategy. His last bet in this range was athletic freak Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, a versatile linebacker who fit Berry's philosophy of targeting athletic talent at key defensive positions. We'll see if constant trading doesn't empty the coffers.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Matayo Uiagalelei
Oregon
DLCleveland's DL needs a run D anchor; he's it. Pass-rush ceiling is there, just needs development, but solid anchor.
Kade Pieper
Iowa
IOLPieper immediately anchors the guard with that Iowa technique. High floor, the question is how he handles long rushers.
Dante Moore
Oregon
QBFuture QB this franchise desperately needs. Sky-high ceiling, but if he can't refine that aggressiveness, it'll end up in opponents' hands.
Second round
3 names
Eric O'Neill
James Madison
DLRelentless motor for Schwartz's rush; but his anchor against the run remains a key question.
Iapani Laloulu
Oregon
IOLBrings that anchor the interior has been asking for. He's a mauler with a super high floor, perfect for that line.
Drew Mestemaker
Oklahoma State
QBFuture QB and insurance policy. The arm talent is elite; his ceiling depends on taming the 'hero ball' tendency.
Third round
3 names
Yhonzae Pierre
Alabama
DLAdds the explosive pass-rush they lack in rotation. If he doesn't get washed out in run D, he's got high upside.
Austin Romaine
Kansas State
LBSolidifies that interior LB spot, reads plays scary good. High floor in run fit, limited ceiling due to athleticism.
Evan Tengesdahl
Cincinnati
IOLBrings reliable interior OL anchor Browns need. High floor, immediate starter, if arm length doesn't limit him.
