Browns options with No. 6 overall pick has NFL insiders 'conflicted'

The Cleveland Browns are coming into the 2026 NFL Draft with a few picks inside the first 40 selections, most notably, they have two first-rounders thanks to their Travis Hunter trade-down with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year.

But, with their own first-rounder at No. 6 overall, there are a ton of options the Browns could go with. Offensive line, wide receiver, defense, or a trade are all on the table.

This uncertainty with the sixth overall pick has, according to ESPN's Jordan Reid, NFL insiders "conflicted" over what the Browns will end up doing with their No. 6 overall pick.

"And which pick are you the most uncertain on? The Browns at No. 6 is one that sources have been conflicted on," Reid writes.

Cleveland could go a lot of different routes with this sixth-overall selection. And that's even with the Browns' top two options being so well known at this point.

Despite Cleveland having a clear need at wide receiver and offensive tackle, they could easily choose one or the other with the sixth pick, and neither would be a surprise.

If they want WR, Carnell Tate out of Ohio State would be a good pick. If they decide to go OL, Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano are both in play.

They could also go best-player available, if someone like Caleb Downs, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, David Bailey, Ruben Bain Jr., or some other player piques their interest.

But a trade-down is also very much in play. If a team like the Dallas Cowboys want's to be aggressive for an edge rusher, moving down six spots wouldn't be a bad idea for the Browns to pick up some extra draft capital.

While most teams have plenty of options with their first round picks, the Browns are one of the more uncertain spots in the NFL draft with their No. 6 pick.
