Stacked with a pair of first-round picks (No. 6 and No. 24), as well as 10 total selections, GM Andrew Berry has the ammunition to completely overhaul an offense desperate to score points. With young QB Shedeur Sanders entering his second year, surrounding him (or whoever's under center) with elite protection and explosive playmakers is the top priority.
The Senior Bowl practices run from Tuesday, Jan. 27, through Thursday, Jan. 29th, climaxing with the game on Saturday.
Here are the five draft prospects to watch for that could transform Cleveland's future.

5 Senior Bowl prospects to save the Browns offense
1. WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana (6'2", 209 lbs)
A dominant boundary threat, Sarratt is a contested-catch specialist with elite ball skills. He hauled in 15 touchdowns in 2025 from Fernando Mendoza and provides the "X" receiver physicality Cthat leveland desperately needs.
2. OL Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon (6'5", 318 lbs)
A versatile mauler with four years of starting experience at left guard. Pregnon is a smooth athlete who excels in space, making him a perfect fit for a zone-heavy scheme looking to solidify the interior. He also did not allow a sack over the last two seasons.

3. WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M (5'11", 190 lbs)
Pure electricity. Concepcion is a dynamic slot weapon and return specialist who produced over 900 yards last season. He's the "yards-after-catch" monster the Browns lack. Could he be the KR/PR weapon Cleveland has been desperate for on special teams?
4. OL Gennings Dunker, Iowa (6'5", 315 lbs)
The definition of "nasty." Dunker is a powerful right tackle with a glass-eating mentality. He brings the rugged, physical edge required to win in the AFC North trenches.
5. OL Jude Bowry, Boston College (6'5", 314 lbs)
A rising blindside protector, Bowry allowed just two sacks in 2024 and served as a BC captain in 2025. He possesses the length and high football IQ to develop into a franchise tackle.

Sleeper: WR Ted Hurst, Georgia State (6'3", 185 lbs)
Don't let the "small school" label fool you.
This is what ESPN Draft analyst Field Yates had to say about him: "Hurst had an excellent final season that included four games with 100-plus yards and four with a 50-plus-yard catch. Hurst is a big-bodied wideout with impressive movement skills."
Yates continued, "Georgia State used him as a vertical threat and an underneath target on screen opportunities. When he reaches top speed, it's impressive to watch. This week will be a good test against top-tier competition, and I think he's a late-Day 2, early-Day 3 prospect."
