The Cleveland Browns might have been winners on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, but general manager Andrew Berry made sure everyone was busy on Day 3 making deals. As the fifth round moves toward its final picks, including the Browns’ next scheduled pick, HC Todd Monken has plenty of new players on offense to work with.
The offensive line has caught the eye with three picks so far:

While Brailsford is the only one of the three listed as a center, Fano could play the position after participating in the NFL combine there. Many are excited about Barber, who could play either tackle position, which could create flexibility opportunities with Fano.
At this point, Cleveland’s center position could be filled by several players:
Fano and Jenkins will be included in the starting lineup in 2026, likely at left tackle and right guard, respectively. For Monken, it will be about getting the best possible line on the field. If that means Fano or Jenkins moves to guard, the veteran offensive coach is often willing to be flexible.
Brailsford should be considered the favorite at this point, but the center position could be an interesting competition during training camp.
Who do you think will be the starting center in 2026? What will be the starting offensive line?
