The Cleveland Browns' offensive line play in 2025 was among the worst in the NFL, and it is clear that Andrew Berry knew this and focused on fixing it in free agency and the draft. After adding a tackle in the first and third rounds, the Browns continue to add to the group, selecting Alabama center Parker Brailsford with the 146th pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

What stands out most about Brailsford is his athleticism and movement skills, which allow him to move well laterally and change direction quickly. He's a high-IQ player who handles stunts and loopers well and can help quarterbacks change protection at the line of scrimmage. Brailsford played in 42 games between his two years at Alabama and one year in Washington.

The biggest concern is his power profile and size, coming in at 289 pounds, although he plays with a nasty temperament and doesn't shy away from the dirty work in the run game. If he could add more functional strength without losing athleticism, he could become a starter in the NFL.
