The Cleveland Browns addressed their wide receiver issues during the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting KC Concepcion in the first round and Denzel Boston in the second. In 2025, the Browns struggled significantly at the position, with Jerry Jeudy leading the team with only 602 receiving yards. General manager Andrew Berry's decision reflects a shift in strategy, moving away from previous years' reluctance to invest high draft picks in wideout talent. Concepcion and Boston are expected to have immediate impacts alongside Jeudy and second-year receiver Isaiah Bond, as the Browns aim to improve their passing game.
