Cleveland Browns linked to Darian Mensah in 2027 NFL mock draft

The Cleveland Browns hold a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, which will take place in Washington, D.C. next year. A recent mock draft from Sports Illustrated projects the franchise will select Miami quarterback Darian Mensah. The Heisman Trophy contender previously played at Duke before transferring to Miami, where he continues to be monitored by scouts. Last year, Mensah recorded 34 touchdowns and six interceptions while demonstrating accuracy and the ability to throw downfield. The 6'3", 205-pound prospect is noted for his mobility and potential to integrate into the offensive scheme currently utilized by Monken. While the draft is approximately eight months away, Mensah remains a central figure in early discussions regarding Cleveland’s roster development.
