The Browns are in another lost season and have to begin building toward 2026 and beyond. If nothing else, they do currently have two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, as the Jacksonville Jaguars' first-rounder belongs to Cleveland.
We've seen the Browns' rookie class actually perform quite well this year, and GM Andrew Berry and his front office does deserve some credit for this class up to this point. With the NFL trade deadline now under a month away, the Browns are going to have to get serious here and start trading some veterans on expiring contracts.
