ESPN analyst has interesting target for Cleveland at 6 overall

[ASFN Admin]

The fun is about to truly begin with the 2026 NFL draft kicking off next week in Pittsburgh. The Cleveland Browns have a pair of first-round picks, including the sixth overall pick. There have been tons of speculations on who the targets for the Browns could be, though there seems to be a good chance the team trades back.

ESPN analyst Sal Paolantonio joined Baskin and Phelps on 92.3 The Fan radio in Cleveland and had an interesting target at sixth overall that seems to come out of left field.

"If the Browns are there at (No.) 6 and (Kenyon) Sadiq is available, I'd take him. I'd take him right away. You've got to create matchup problems on this offense. This guy can do a lot of things for your offense…line him up anywhere."

The Oregon tight end is a freakish-level athlete, but taking him at six would be far too early in my opinion. However, if the Browns were to trade back first or Sadiq fell to pick 24, I would be all over that pick. Some will have trouble taking a tight end, but his impact on the passing game would be just as good as that of any wide receiver they could get in that range, and would make a crazy duo with Harold Fannin Jr., which could create a lot of mismatches.
