Whether the Browns' quarterback is already in the building, in this draft class or currently on another roster, Tate will make that man's job much easier.

The Browns desperately need help at left tackle. Lomu is a better pass protector than run blocker at this stage.

The rebuild is ongoing in Cleveland, as the Browns have holes throughout the roster with no clear-cut answer at quarterback or left tackle. That leads to yet another "best player available" approach.

Fano has experience at both left and right tackle as a three-year starter who allowed only three sacks in his past 24 starts. He could be the replacement for free agent Jack Conklin at right tackle, but he offers the flexibility to start on the left side if Dawand Jones doesn't return to form after suffering a torn hamstring and a torn lateral collateral ligament this season.

This could be the spot where the Browns consider a quarterback such as Ty Simpson or Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss (if his NCAA appeal is denied again), but the word we heard most often in Mobile was that the Browns will not force a quarterback pick in 2026.

Boston is a massive wide receiver prospect at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds with an excellent ability to win at the catch point. If the Browns decide to roll with Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders at quarterback, they'd be comforted by the fact that Boston's size and great play speed -- plus his 20 touchdowns the past two seasons -- help him win on the outside of the formation. He projects as a true WR1.

The Browns hit a home run with second-round middle linebacker Carson Schwesinger in the 2025 draft and could pair him with a top strongside linebacker in Golday, who had 104 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season.

Fano is an athletic, technically sound right tackle who plays with a strong base, quick feet and excellent balance in pass protection. He consistently mirrors speed rushers, handles stunts with patience and control and redirects smoothly against bendy edge defenders. While not an overpowering mauler, he anchors effectively and rarely gets knocked off his spot. In the run game, Fano thrives in wide-zone schemes, using his mobility to reach the second level and finish blocks.

Sadiq oozes athleticism, will run through arm tackles and is used all over the formation. He can be a quick-game target as an outside WR and is used effectively on jet sweeps. He's also one of the best blocking TEs in college football who is an asset on special teams, too. He reminds me of Kadarius Toney in the quick game and Anquan Boldin in space with the ball in his hands.

Best Pick: Second-round linebacker Carson Schwesinger is a good pick. They need help there and he is a playmaker. Browns fans will come to love him.

Worst Pick: Trading away the No. 2 pick to Jacksonville will be a decision that is dissected for years. They passed on a chance to take Travis Hunter, the best player in the draft, to move down. They did add a first-round pick next year, which means they have the arsenal to get a quarterback next year if either of the two they picked this year don't work out.

The Skinny: They clearly have an eye on the 2026 draft with the trade they made. They can get their quarterback then, even if they took Dillon Gabriel in the third and Sheduer Sanders in the fifth this year. First-round pick Mason Graham is a good player who will be an immediate starter. Fourth-round running back Dylan Sampson has a chance to be a good runner and compete with second-round back Quinshon Judkins. The focus will be on Sanders, but it shouldn't be.

Top needs entering the draft: Quarterback, wide receiver, edge rusher and running back

The Browns made a splash return to the first round after sitting out Day 1 for three straight years. That, of course, aligns with the Deshaun Watson era. The Browns traded their 2022, 2023 and 2024 first-rounders to Houston in March 2022 to sign Watson to an enormous $230 million fully guaranteed deal and subsequently got 19 touchdown passes out of him over 19 games. Watson is currently injured, too, after retearing his Achilles. So all eyes were on Cleveland at No. 2. Everyone expected Travis Hunter to be the pick.

Instead, we got a shocker. Cleveland traded back to No. 5 in a deal with the Jaguars. Hunter is the clear best player in the class in my eyes, but defensive tackle Mason Graham was third on my board. He's strong and moves really well, and he will rush the passer from the interior. Maliek Collins, Shelby Harris and Graham form a good defensive tackle rotation. But the Browns also added a lot of draft capital here, including a 2026 first-rounder. This is a massive part of why they earned my top grade. Jacksonville isn't exactly a playoff lock, so that could be a high pick next April.

The other main reason I gave the Browns an A+ shouldn't be a surprise. They got quarterback Shedeur Sanders at No. 144 to finish their seven-pick draft. He was my No. 5 overall prospect in the class and clear QB1. He brings excellent accuracy, completing 74% of his throws last season. He brings toughness in the pocket. I think he will be an outstanding pro QB, and I believe we will look back on this pick in a few years and question what the rest of the NFL was doing.

Cleveland also took Dillon Gabriel, though. I like him as a sleeper, though I was skeptical when the Browns made the pick. Going with 40-year-old Joe Flacco, twice-traded Kenny Pickett and Gabriel isn't in anyone's best interest. But pairing Sanders and Gabriel gives the Browns options as they try to sort through the post-Watson era. Gabriel throws with terrific ball placement and makes quick, smart decisions with the football.

Beyond the quarterback dealings, the Browns added some really good players. One of the other picks coming to Cleveland in the Jaguars trade was No. 36, which meant it kicked off Day 2 with a pair of quick selections. Carson Schwesinger was getting legitimate Round 1 buzz, and he will factor into the pass coverage, run defense and even the pass rush. He had 115 tackles, two interceptions and four sacks last season. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is dealing with a neck injury, so Schwesinger was a smart addition after Cleveland also signed Jordan Hicks and re-signed Devin Bush.

Then, Quinshon Judkins -- who stays in-state from Ohio State -- will power the Browns' ground game to another level. He has a nose for the end zone with 50 scrimmage TDs since 2022. They got Dylan Sampson in Round 4, too. When he finds daylight, he's gone. The Browns averaged 94.6 rush yards per game last season (fourth fewest in the NFL), so they had to address this. They got two good running backs. Tight end/H-back Harold Fannin Jr. was the other Cleveland pick -- he led the nation with 117 catches last season, and the pairing of Fannin and David Njoku is intriguing.
