Browns Day 3 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Cleveland has hit a home run during the first two days, here's how they finish it

Two day are down for the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 NFL Draft. With one day ahead, here's what Day 3 could look like for the Browns.

We've made it through two days of the 2026 NFL Draft and the Cleveland Browns have drafted five players and made three trades so far

On Day 1, it was all about filling the two biggest needs with Spencer Fano brought in to play left tackle and KC Concepcion as a major investment at wideout. Cleveland doubled up at wide receiver early in the second round with Denzel Boston, then traded up to select safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren out of Toledo. Cleveland's final Day 2 pick was Florida OT Austin Barber, who has a chance to play on the interior as well. 

Let's get into what Day 3 could look like for the Browns with five scheduled picks to be made. 

Day 3 2026 NFL Mock Draft for the Browns 

Round 5, No. 146: Landon Robinson, DT, Navy 

Robinson is undersized at 5-foot-11 and 296 pounds, but he's still an active force on the interior of the defensive line. Robinson is quick, twitchy, and he has great pad level to leverage his matchup. Robinson is a Northeast Ohio native and made 64 tackles with 6.5 sacks last season at Navy.

Round 5, No. 148: Parker Brailsford, C, Alabama 

If the Browns end up rolling with Luke Wypler as the center and Elgton Jenkins at guard, the Browns would need another backup center. As of right now it looks like Jenkins may have to play center, but it's still up in the air right now.  Brailsford has 42 starts between the Big Ten and SEC, which shows he's seen his fair share of interior defensive tackles.

Round 5, No. 149: Jack Endries, TE, Texas 

Endries is up and down as a blocker, but he can make plays in the passing game as a big target at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds with the ability to go up and get it. The blocking coming around would be most ideal, but I still think he'd be a solid pick for the Browns with what he has to offer now. Oscar Delp went off the board at No. 73 one pick before the Browns, so they'll need a tight end elsewhere. 

Round 5, No. 152: Anthony Lucas, EDGE, USC

Lucas brings an NFL frame at 6-foot-5 and 256 pounds but he's never been able to put up more than the three sacks he had in 2025 during a college season. Still, the Browns need one more pass rusher at least and Lucas brings size and athleticism to try to mold into something.  

Round 7, No. 248: Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas 

There could be a team taking Green before here and that's fine. If I'm the Browns I'm not thinking about quarterback until the seventh round, and then I'm spending it on an athletic freak who may end up at another position. Green ran a 4.36 40-yard dash and vertical jumped 43.5 inches at the NFL Scouting Combine. He may not have an NFL arm but he's an intriguing prospect.
