Browns fans and national media react to Cleveland's NFL Draft Day 2

Andrew Berry and the Cleveland Browns made some major moves on Friday night, day two of the 2026NFL Draft. Cleveland ended up making three selections in the second and third rounds, each of which was well calculated and executed to perfection.

It's no surprise that Cleveland needed to prioritize the offensive side of the football, and they did just that to start round two. At pick 39, they selected Denzel Boston, the 6'4" wide receiver from Washington. This pick alone was a great selection, but they were not done yet.

As they have acquired and stockpiled picks, they got back into the end of round two thanks to a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. They got back into the second round, and at pick 58 of the draft, they grabbed the star safety prospect, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren from Toledo.

Even though they had no picks in the third round, they still were not done. They struck a deal to move back into the third round to take another tackle, Austin Barber off the board. This may have been a touch rich for Barber, but Cleveland acquires some offensive line depth.

Here is some of the national reaction to Cleveland's day two.

The @Browns just got ONE OF THE HIGHEST CEILING Safeties in the draft in Emmanuel McNeil-Warren out of Toledo. He is Raw, but has rare ball-hawking range, long arms and natural football instinct. Attention to detail coaching will see him grow into a BEAST because this guy never… pic.twitter.com/su6NHIGmnm

Cleveland's draft has been as close to great as it could possibly get. They are acquiring incredible players at very valuable positions and doing so without having to spend all that much capital.

Not only that, their last move of the night was a trade back out of the third round again by dealing the 74th pick to the New York Giants in exchange for two fifth-rounders this year and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

On day three, Cleveland now holds eight picks, including Nos. 105, 145, 146, 148, 149, 152, 206, and 248.

It is very unlikely that Cleveland will select eight players, so look to them to be aggressive in moving around the board. Whatever they end up doing, Andrew Berry deserves a lot of credit for what he has done so far in 2026.
