The NFL is now less than two weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft.
It will be three days in Pittsburgh (blech!) that could change the fortunes of the Cleveland Browns, as general manager Andrew Berry has two first-round selections and four of the first 70 selections overall. (Something has to eventually go right for the Browns in Pittsburgh? Doesn’t it?)
So how are you feeling, Browns fans? Optimistic that Berry can build on last year’s solid draft class? Worried that the Browns will “miss out” on too many Ohio State players? Comfortable with selecting one of the offensive tackles high and seeing how the rest of the board plays out?
Share your thoughts, hopes, dreams, and fears about the draft in the comments and see what your fellow fans have to say.
For now, let’s open the weekend with the latest edition of the Saturday Dawg Chow.
