The Cleveland Browns unsurprisingly led the league in hosting wide receivers for top 30 pre-draft visits before the 2026 NFL Draft next week.It isn't breaking news to say that the Cleveland Browns need a wide receiver, and they need one badly in next week's NFL Draft. The only question is, where will they take one?

Andrew Berry's track record with drafting wide receivers has, respectfully, been awful since he took over as the Cleveland general manager.

Some of the selections in his tenure were Anthony Schwartz, before Amon Ra St. Brown, David Bell, Cedric Tillman, and Jamari Thrash. Not exactly a murderers' row of pass catchers.

Next Thursday night, he has the chance to right all of his wrongs if he selects the right receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft. It is very clear that he is interested in doing so in either the first or second round. As of Wednesday, the Browns have hosted the most wide receivers for Top 30 visits.

They hosted eight of the top nine receivers in thus years draft. No matter how you rank any of these players, they have spent at least some time in Berea getting to know the building and the staff.

Now, Cleveland has two options in the first round of the NFL Draft. Being that they have two first-round picks, they will be able to choose either their top wide receiver or their top tackle. Whichever one they go with first, they will be at liberty to pick the rest of the league when their name pops back up at the end of the first round at pick number 24.

For many, the preferred route is selecting a top wide receiver such as Carnell Tate with the sixth pick and then taking their chance at the tackle position. However, if they do the opposite, they will be prepared to select whatever receiver is still remaining at pick 24 or earlier if they trade. Whether it is Denzel Boston, Omar Cooper, or KC Concepcion, they will be ready. If, inexplicably, they wait until the second round, a player like Chris Bell or Germie Bernard will be waiting around and will have been properly scouted by the Browns.

Cleveland has decisions to be made, but the work has been done, and they are more than prepared to take their next wide receiver. The only question is where they will do it.
