What is the story about?

The grades are in, and Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry aced the 2026 NFL draft after putting out a great class in 2025

. Not every issue was solved this offseason, but Berry gave HC Todd Monken a whole new offensive line and, for the first time in the Browns history, two early receivers were selected.

The two rookie receivers have fans excited, with KC Concepcion the more dynamic playmaker and Denzel Boston the bigger, sure-handed outside and redzone threat. Cleveland still needs to have competent

quarterback play for the young pass catchers to succeed in the NFL, but production is only a part of the equation in their rookie season.

According to former NFL DT Breidan Fehoko, Boston in particular will be put in a position to succeed. Fehoko said Boston’s route tree could look similar to Justin Jefferson’s:

If Boston’s season and game are compared to Jefferson after his rookie campaign, those NFL draft grades will be prophetic. To be fair, the two receivers also play the game very differently, even if they end up running similar routes in their respective systems.
