Browns Considering Francis Mauigoa at No. 6 Overall?

ESPN's Field Yates said that he "would lean" toward the Cleveland Browns taking either Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate or University of Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa with the No. 6 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Either way, the Browns would be looking to upgrade their offense under new offensive-minded head coach Todd Monken. Tate, who caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025 for the Buckeyes, would be the more immediate contributor on offense and would give either quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson (Achilles) an explosive playmaker through the air that the team has been lacking. Tate, if in Cleveland, could immediately become the Browns' top wideout over Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond. Mauigoa is tempting as well as the Browns look to upgrade an O-line that was among the worst at blocking for their RBs in 2025.
