Welcome to the first 2026 NFL draft edition of the From the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe

Kalura. Night 1 of the 2026 draft has wrapped and the Cleveland Browns made two selections on

night one who you'll hear from on this podcast. On this episode, you'll hear from your general

manager, Andrew Barry, head coach Todd Monkin, offensive tackle Spencer Fano, and wide receiver

KC Concepcion. We'll start with general manager Andrew Barry, who discussed how the draft board

fell on night one. So listen, we're very excited in terms of how night one concluded for us to get two of kind of what I would call our shortlist players to pick up another top 100 pick as well as another pick in the top 150.

You know, we were very pleased with just really all the activity this evening.

We're really excited about Spencer,

you know, and his potential at left tackle.

He's super athletic, very versatile,

elite, you know, makeup.

And then KC, he's, you know, he's dynamic.

He's, you know, an outstanding separator,

really good with the ball in his hands. Honestly, probably the best punt returner in this class. And, you know, an outstanding separator, really good with the ball in his hands.

Honestly, probably the best punt returner in this class. And, you know, those two guys will really help our offense moving forward.

So with that, open up for questions.

Mm-hmm.

It was. And, you know, we were joking. It's like, okay, well, the board probably fell better than it did in our simulations in the week leading up to it, which is always nice. But we were really excited about the two players that we got. And we're really excited that, you know, we were able to pick up the extra draft

resources while, you know, taking the player that we really coveted at nine.

Andrew, how many, did you get a lot of calls for six or, and Casey was the best one?

Or, you know, how'd that kind of go when you're on the clock?

We did get several calls for six.
