Cleveland Browns, NFL Draft
Digest more
The Cleveland Browns head into Week 15’s action with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft order, as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars selection late in the first round. After Week 14’s loss to the Tennessee Titans, all possibilities are available to the Browns, especially with their difficult finishing schedule.
Meanwhile, not much changed for the teams slated to have the No. 1 through No. 4 picks in the 2026 NFL draft next spring. The Giants claimed the top spot in the draft order last week after the Titans beat the Browns, and all three teams remain on track to pick in the top four after their games this week.
Six teams can realistically land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft after Week 15. The New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans all sit at 2-12. New York is currently in possession of the top selection.
