I guess I can say that I was part of history by attending it.Pittsburgh broke the all-time round one attendance record with 320,000 fans tonight, topping the 275,000+ who attended in Detroit in 2024, per the NFL. pic.twitter.com/0LmwpCCkL9— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 24, 20266:35 PM: We also have the results in from yesterday’s first-round grades that were voted on exclusively by the DBN community. How did Spencer Fano and KC Concepcion fare, as we get ready for Day 2?6:20 PM: First-round draft picks Spencer Fano and KC Concepcion look pretty good with those brown jerseys!new kids in town@FanoSpencer | @KCTheKid7pic.twitter.com/330i5RMFur— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) April 24, 20266:00 PM: Wondering how the national media graded the first-round selections by the Cleveland Browns?

Of course you are! We have you covered right here.5:29 PM: Changing the first round from 10 minutes per pick to 8 minutes per pick paid off, as the first round went 36 minutes faster than it did a year ago, and the first time in the Roger Goodell era that it went under three hours. Next up, I wish the TV crews could be more in sync with the timing of when picks are actually made.

When I was in person at the draft, it just is silly to see the Browns being on the clock, and yet they are just starting to announce on TV who was taken at No. 7 overall.A fun crisp round one last night which lasted 2 hours and 53 minutes. The move from a limit of 10 minutes to 8 for clubs to pick appeared to have worked. The first round in Goodell’s first draft in 2007 lasted 6 hours and 8 minutes, more than double the length of last night. pic.twitter.com/yemhpwnqOh— Brian McCarthy (@NFLprguy) April 24, 20265:02 PM: Building off our report earlier, Tom Pelissero reports that the Browns are among the teams who have called teams near the top of the second round about moving up.Trade action could continue into Round 2, where the 49ers are getting calls about the No. 33 pick. @gmfb@nflnetworkpic.twitter.com/yzZDQsvLgq— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 24, 20262:55 PM: Shout out to The Draw Play, which every year does comic drawings for each of the draft picks in the first round.

The theme this year was cursed Madden covers, so here are the Browns’ two representatives:2:42 PM: Adding on to what Jared said below, Jordan Schultz is reporting that the 49ers, Cardinals, and Bills — who own picks 33, 34, and 35 — have received plenty of calls about teams wanting to trade up to grab a player. That tells you that there are a handful of prospects who teams feel are first-round quality players who can contribute right away.Schultz highlights two names in particular heading into round two: S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and WR Chris Bell. McNeil-Warren could be one of those players teams are trying to trade up for, while Bell has that risk-reward value to him. There are some Browns fans who would love for the team to come away with one of those guys, but the odds of landing Bell figure to be higher than McNeil-Warren.Sources: The #49ers, #Cardinals and #Bills have received calls about potential trades at the top of Round 2 tonight, setting up what could be a busy trade night.It makes sense as Round 1 ended with five of the final seven picks being traded. pic.twitter.com/NBgJD4ekAl— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) April 24, 20262:27 PM: I’ve been told a lot of trade conversations are going on, including that the Browns are interested in turning a third-round pick into a second-rounder depending on how the board falls
