Browns trade up, select Florida OT
Just when you thought the Cleveland Browns were done trading for the night, they pulled out one more wildcard, making a deal with the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Just after trading down with the New York Giants (No. 74 with the Giants, receiving picks No. 105 (4th round) and No. 145 (5th round) as well as a 2027 4th round pick), the Browns traded pick No. 105, No. 145 and No. 206 to the Chargers to get No. 86.
With that No. 86 pick, the Browns picked up University of Florida offensive tackle Austin Barber.
The Browns started their night drafting offense with Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston (No. 39), then using their 49ers No. 58 pick to add some defense with Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and now No. 86 Barber.
Here are the Browns’ 2026 draft picks:
- Round 1: No. 9 overall: OT Spencer Fano
- Round 1: No. 24 overall: KC Concepcion
- Round 2: No. 39 overall: WR Denzel Boston
- Round 2: No. 58 overall: S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
- Round 3: No. 86 overall: OT Austin Barber
- Round 5: No. 146 overall
- Round 5: No. 148 overall (from Chiefs)
- Round 5: No. 149 overall (from Bengals)
- Round 5: No. 152 overall (from 49ers)
- Round 7: No. 248 overall (from Seahawks)

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – If you felt shaking along Florida’s east coast on Thursday, you’re not alone. But it wasn’t an earthquake.
A strong “experimental explosion” was reported in the waters off Central Florida on Thursday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS website indicates that the explosion happened around 3:04 p.m., roughly 91 miles east-northeast of Ponce Inlet.
Per the agency, the event registered a preliminary magnitude of 3.9. However, few other details about what may have caused the explosion have been provided at this time.
“The recorded ground motions from this event are more typical of an explosion than a naturally occurring earthquake,” the USGS website reads. “The Navy has conducted Full Ship Shock Trials in this region in the past.”

News 6 has reached out to Navy officials for more information and is awaiting additional details.
Anyone who felt the impact of the explosion is urged to report their experience here.
