Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports recently reported that the Cleveland Browns are open to trading down from pick No. 6 in the 2026 NFL Draft in order to target offensive tackle Spencer Fano.
“With the top of the NFL Draft board dominated by quarterback talk, league sources indicate the Cleveland Browns are quietly open for business, potentially trading down to target a foundational offensive tackle,” Pauline wrote. “The Detroit Lions have a hole at left tackle, and sources believe they’ve zeroed in on Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor. But the Cleveland Browns’ interest in a similar player, Spencer Fano, could force Detroit’s hand earlier than they’d like.”
Could this idea open up the door to the Cincinnati Bengals trading up from pick No. 10 to land a prospect they desperately want?
