Noah Baumgardner has Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza going to the Saints at #2 and LS to the Browns at #6. I’m not going to debate Mendoza because I think I’ve only seen him take 2 snaps ever, I was intrigued by how much I like Cleveland as a landing spot for LS.
The Browns D might be the best in the NFL, they’ve built a good RB room (Judkins, Ford, Dylan Sampson, and Rocket Sanders), they have a serviceable O line that does need some upgrades but not bad for young mobile QB, the WR room is solid with Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Isiaiah Bond, and Gage Larvadain that feels like it needs another difference maker. They have Njoku at TE but they need to upgrad that room too. But their roster doesn’t seem that far away and they have the Jags 2026 1st rounder to help build. He could be the right QB at the right time for them to finally start winning and that fanbase would worship him. If he goes pro next year, he might be the first QB ever to be glad the Browns picked him.
