What happened: Dan Orlovsky labeled Denzel Boston and Kc Concepcion the best young core in the conference. Cleveland drafted Concepcion 24th overall out of Texas A&M and Boston 39th overall out of Washington in 2026. The Browns are 5-2 after a 27-24 win at Tennessee on Oct. 25.

Why it matters: Early roles for two Day 1-2 picks give Cleveland low-cost receiving depth during a playoff push. Cleveland holds the No. 3 seed on a two-game winning streak, increasing the value of rookie contributions. Sustained play from draft picks at receiver can stabilize the depth chart without additional moves.

By the numbers: 24 overall (Texas A&M). 39 overall (Washington). Browns: 5-2, W2, No. 3 seed; last game 27-24 win at Tennessee, Oct. 25, 2026.

What to watch: Continued involvement for Boston and Concepcion will shape Cleveland's passing rotation as the AFC seeding race continues.
