4 recent predictions for the Browns' 2026 draft picks | Mock Draft Roundup

**Round 1 – No. 6 pick:** WR Makai Lemon, USC

**Analysis:** Miller selected his top-ranked wide receiver in the draft class for the Browns, explaining that Lemon can create space for himself and vary his routes. Lemon caught 79 receptions for 1,156 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025. Over his three seasons at USC, Lemon recorded 137 receptions for 2,008 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in 33 career games.

**Round 1 – No. 24 pick:** OT Kadyn Proctor, Alabama

**Analysis:** While Yates believes there is a chance Proctor could come off the board sooner than No. 24, in this exercise he is available for the Browns to address a need on the offensive line. Proctor played a significant role on Alabama's offensive line at left tackle in 2025, recording 901 snaps.

**Round 2 – No. 39 pick:** G Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon

**Analysis:** Reid writes that the Browns can add depth at guard with Pregnon, even after re-signing G Teven Jenkins in free agency. He describes Pregnon as a "physical tone-setter." In his lone season at Oregon in 2025 Pregnon started all 15 games, with 14 starts at left guard and one start at right guard. He was on the team with 910 offensive snaps played, including 849 at left guard.

**Round 3 – No. 70 pick:** CB Keith Abney II, Arizona State

**Analysis:** Miller writes Abney could be an option to play in the slot or on the outside, highlighting his speed. In his three seasons at Arizona State, Abney recorded 98 tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack, six interceptions, 21 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
