The Cleveland Browns, holding two first-round picks (No. 6 and No. 24) in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, are under pressure to make impactful selections. Analyst Alex Ballentine has advised the team to avoid selecting offensive tackle Monroe Freeling with their sixth pick. Although Freeling is regarded as one of the top tackle prospects, his limited experience—having started only one full season at the University of Georgia—raises concerns about his readiness for the NFL. He is currently ranked 48th on Bleacher Report's big board, with a modest grade of 7.6 from scout Brandon Thorn. Given the depth of this tackle class, the Browns could find a more suitable option later in the draft. Instead, many mock drafts suggest that the Browns should consider selecting Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate, who could fill their pressing need for a WR1.
