Overview
- The Browns drafted Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion with the 24th pick after selecting Utah tackle Spencer Fano at No. 9 to address offense and protection.
- General manager Andrew Berry defended Concepcion as a dynamic, electric talent while acknowledging reports of frequent drops in college.
- Evaluations cite a 6.7% drop rate and roughly 19 drops over two seasons, which some analysts warn could strain timing for quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
- Concepcion logged 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns last season and added 456 punt return yards with two scores, earning the Paul Hornung Award for versatility.
- He said he met Sanders in Colorado during his transfer process and hopes that early rapport helps in camp, as USA TODAY’s B+ grade projects immediate punt-return value and slot production.
