Andrew Berry's Pre-Draft Press Conference
Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry held his annual pre-draft press conference on April 17 to discuss a variety of topics surrounding the Browns and this year's draft.
The Browns have a first-round pick for the first time since 2021, and it holds a high value at No. 2. Berry discussed the overall outlook on the pick and overviewed the process of creating their draft strategy heading into the draft.
One of the biggest questions for Cleveland throughout the offseason centered around the quarterback position. Berry explained his vision of the quarterback position and talked about the additions of veteran Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett to the quarterback room.

Browns' Most Recent First-Round Selections
The last time the Browns held a first-round pick was in 2021, when they selected CB Greg Newsome II with the 26th pick in the draft. Their most recent No. 1 overall pick was QB Baker Mayfield in 2018, a year after taking DE Myles Garrett at No. 1 in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Browns also selected CB Denzel Ward as the fourth overall pick in the 2018 draft.
Garrett, Newsome and Ward have all established themselves as key pieces of the Browns defense. During the 2025 offseason, Garrett signed a contract extension that runs through the 2030 season. In his eight seasons in Cleveland, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has become a foundational piece for the Browns and will continue to do so for the next six seasons.
Outlook on the 2026 NFL Draft
As the Browns head into the 2025 draft, they currently hold eight total picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. They have their own picks in Rounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. They also have a sixth-round pick via Detroit, a seventh-round pick via Buffalo and another seventh-round pick via Seattle.
