The Cleveland Browns are preparing to take on the Detroit Lions in their Week 4 matchup tomorrow, but with two first round picks in the 2026 NFL draft, their eyes are also on the future.
Week 5 of college football features a ton of heavy NFL draft implications, especially at positions of need for the Browns. The quarterback position is the place to start this conversation, and nearly every top quarterback in the class has a head-to-head worth tuning into. First, Penn State and Oregon take the field as Drew Allar must prove he can perform in a big game. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has been a hot riser to this point as well, and can solidify himself among the top names with a strong showing.
Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, fresh off of a dominant showing against a top-10 opponent in the Fighting Illini, will now take on Iowa. Garrett Nussmeier and the LSU Tigers play Ole Miss, and Alabama’s Ty Simpson looks to impose himself on the class against the Georgia Bulldogs.
