The Browns selected OT Spencer Fano with the ninth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fano played in 37 career games over three seasons at Utah and earned 35 starts, including 11 at left tackle and 24 at right tackle. Fano played 822 offensive snaps during the 2025 season and allowed only five pressures in pass protection – including zero sacks and zero hits to opposing pass rushers, according to PFF.
Fano joins a re-vamped offensive line that saw numerous changes during free agency. Six of their offensive linemen became free agents when the new league year began on March 11, and the Browns quickly started to rebuild up front. They acquired T Tytus Howard in a trade with the Texans, re-signed G Teven Jenkins and signed G Zion Johnson and C/G Elgton Jenkins.
Their new additions join a unit that also features young players like T Dawand Jones, C Luke Wypler and G Zak Zinter, as well as depth pieces in C Kingsley Eguakun, G Jack Conley, OL Kendrick Green, OT Jeremiah Byers, T KT Leveston and T Tyre Phillips.
