Spencer Fano — 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 3.0

The Giants believe in QB Jaxson Dart. Now they need to make sure they protect him.

The Browns are completely remaking their offensive line this offseason and would gladly select Fano as a cornerstone piece. Fano, 21, played right tackle over his final two college seasons but also has some experience on the left side. He has the pedigree and athleticism to eventually hold down one spot for a long time and become a top-tier starting tackle. We know the Browns are focused on offense, and for all the arguments about potential answers at quarterback and solutions at wide receiver, there's no argument about the need to add a rock-solid tackle to the mix.

There is depth at the tackle spot in this class, even if there isn't a no-doubt franchise left tackle prospect. Spencer Fano currently sits at the top of my board among tackle prospects. He's incredible in the run game but can be overpowered by bigger defenders in pass pro.

The Browns should be hoping one of the top offensive tackles is available to them at No. 6. Cleveland snags Fano to start from Day 1.

The Browns have major work to do along the offensive line this offseason, and Fano would provide them a tackle to build around. He is an extremely talented player who started the past two seasons at right tackle. Fano has light and nimble feet to match and mirror edge rushers, which contributed to him allowing zero sacks this past season and only one the year before. He will need to add more mass to his frame, but he's got the starter kit to be a standout right tackle in the NFL. The Browns gave up 51 sacks last season, seventh most in the NFL.

Cleveland has to rebuild its offensive line under new head coach Todd Monken. The Browns are getting a little old up front (and, frankly, bad) so it's time to add talent at offensive tackle. Spencer Fano has the ability to start right away with long-term development upside that the Browns need.

This offense needs some talent. They struggled to throw and run the ball, ranking second in scoring offense this past season. So, you could probably get better with a good offensive lineman. I think there will be several good offensive linemen picked in the first 15 to 20 selections, and Fano fits that bill. Fano might be the best offensive lineman in the draft after playing left and right tackle at Utah. Cleveland can play him on either side, and maybe Shedeur Sanders, or whoever is at quarterback, can have a respectable 2026 season.
