The Cleveland Browns might have been winners in Day 2 of the 2026 NFL draft, but GM Andrew Berry made sure that everyone stayed busy on Day 3 by making deals. As the fifth round moves towards its final picks, including the Browns next scheduled selection, HC Todd Monken has a lot of new players on offense to work with.
The offensive line has gotten attention with three selections so far:
While Brailsford is the only one of the three listed as a center, Fano could play the position after taking snaps
there at the NFL combine. Many are high on Barber, who could play either tackle spots, which could create opportunities for flexibility with Fano.
At this point, Cleveland’s center position could be filled by a number of players:
- Elgton Jenkins
- Luke Wypler
- Teven Jenkins
- Parker Brailsford
- Spencer Fano
- Kingsley Eguakun
Fano and Jenkins will both be slotted into the starting lineup in 2026, most likely at left tackle and right guard, respectively. For Monken, it will be all about getting the best line possible on the field. If that means either Fano or Jenkins sliding to guard, the veteran offensive coach is often willing to be flexible.
Brailsford should be considered the favorite at this moment, but the center position could be an interesting competition during training camp.
Who do you think the starting center will be in 2026? What will the starting offensive line be?
