What is the story about?

Over the years, the Cleveland Browns have been very good at hiding many of their predraft visits to Berea. Teams are not required to divulge that information, which means agents or the players themselves are often the source when the information leaks. For example, last year, QB Dillon Gabriel was brought into town and the Browns went out to see him work out privately with little to no fanfare prior to the draft.

While the DBN community mock draft continues with Cleveland’s selection, the Browns started

their offseason programming this week. The 2026 NFL draft is just over two weeks away, and we have now learned that TE Kenyon Sadiq is in town for a visit with the Browns:

Sadiq was our top selection in a recent Cleveland mock draft, after a trade down. There, we noted the fit next to Harold Fannin Jr. isn’t perfect, but could create a lot of mismatches:

What is better than one Harold Fannin Jr.? Two. Sadiq may not fill a huge hole, but he could give HC Todd Monken another weapon to work with that makes life more difficult for defenses. Fannin and Sadiq can stress defenses down the seam and basically provide slot receiver play, with more versatility, together.

Sadiq is considered the best tight end in this year’s class by a wide margin, almost 40 spots ahead of the next prospect at his position on the Consensus Big Board. Like Fannin, Sadiq is not a large tight end but makes up for it with his speed and explosiveness:

As a junior in 2025, Sadiq had a breakout season for the Oregon Ducks in 2025 with 51 receptions for 560 yards and eight touchdowns. The “freaky athlete,” according to Dane Brugler in “The Beast” draft guide, operated out of the slot primarily in college and is expected to be selected in the first 20 picks of the 2026 NFL draft.

What do you think about the Browns potentially adding Sadiq to go with Fannin?
