Though, with no quarterback valued as a potential top-10 pick (aside from Fernando Mendoza), the Browns won\u2019t be able to solve their problem with their first-round pick either.<\/p>\n<p>However, that doesn\u2019t mean the Browns can\u2019t add someone who can make life easier on the existing QBs in Cleveland. The Browns have a total of nine selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, in addition to having the sixth pick, they are also scheduled to pick 24th. But who will they take with their first pick?<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7165054\/2026\/04\/03\/browns-nfl-draft-quarterback-competition\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Athletic\u2018s Browns insider Zac Jackson;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Athletic\u2018s Browns insider Zac Jackson&quot;}\" class=\"link \">The Athletic\u2018s Browns insider Zac Jackson<\/a> thinks the pick will be Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate.

Yet, if the Browns are dead set on upgrading their receiving corps, then making sure they get their top target may be worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/nfl-analysts-think-cleveland-browns-183705656.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:NFL Analysts Think Cleveland Browns Need to Trade Myles Garrett;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;NFL Analysts Think Cleveland Browns Need to Trade Myles Garrett&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Analysts Think Cleveland Browns Need to Trade Myles Garrett<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related Headlines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Browns still don\u2019t have a franchise quarterback, even though they have three potential solutions on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":856270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,2337,7,6,582],"class_list":{"0":"post-856269","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-browns","9":"tag-cleveland","10":"tag-cleveland-browns","11":"tag-clevelandbrowns","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-the-browns"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116355713164375913","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/856269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=856269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/856269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/856270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=856269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=856269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=856269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
