The Cleveland Browns made their 2026 intentions clear in the NFL Draft, as the franchise's first three selections were offensive players.

An offensive lineman and two receivers come to Todd Monken's team, and one who is expected to be a big player straight away is KC Concepcion.

The first-round selection is expected to have a big role for whoever is the starting quarterback under Monken, but what can we expect from the big receiver?

Sports Illustrated's Eva Geitheim has offered a projection, and Browns fans will like it. KC is projected to have 61 catches, 784 yards, and seven touchdowns.

"KC Concepcion should be an immediate contributor on a Browns’ offense that was lacking in weapons heading into this draft," Geitheim wrote. "Concepcion will be competing for targets with Denzel Boston, who the Browns selected in the second round."

Browns need top draft picks to hit​

Spencer Fano is slated to be a Day 1 starter, along with Concepcion and fellow receiver Denzel Boston.

In truth, all three are going to have big roles to play for Monken, and the trio could carry the offensive hopes for 2026.

Granted, that isn't ideal, but the Browns need an injection of hope and optimism, and who knows, they might be able to kickstart this new era of Browns football.

If KC can match Geitheim's projection and has over 700 yards and 7 TDs, that will be a good season from the rookie. Can he do it? There's no reason why not.
