CLEVELAND, Ohio -- After the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the Browns now know where the pick they acquired in the Travis Hunter trade will land.
The Browns officially have the sixth and 24th picks in the draft.
I already examined players the Browns could target at No. 6 to fill their two biggest needs: offensive line and wide receiver.
After the duo of Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano, plenty of offensive linemen could be available again for the Browns in this spot and have the proper value in this class.
I'm branching out from just looking at tackles at this pick because the Browns have needs across the line, and this could be the range worth taking an interior lineman like Ioane.
He comes into this class as arguably the best interior offensive lineman available.
Ioane has played a lot of football with more than 2,300 snaps in his career, so he's seen a lot in his time.
He's adept as both a run blocker and a pass blocker. Power is the name of Ioane's game, but he also has good technical ability.
The concerns about Ioane are that he can sometimes get fooled by exotic stunts and his limited athletic ability can be exploited. But there is a lot to like about Ioane if you're looking for someone who can start almost immediately.
Height, weight: 6-6, 308 pounds.
Lomu and Fano formed quite a combination at the tackle position for Utah the last two seasons. Fano lined up on the right side and Lomu was the left tackle for the Utes.
While Fano is capable of being great in both run and pass blocking, Lomu has been a much better pass protector than a run blocker. He earned a pass-block grade of 82.1 and allowed just six quarterback hurries in 2025 according to Pro Football Focus, but he only had a run-block grade of 62.0.
Part of the reason he hasn't been as good at run blocking is that he needs to get stronger at just 308 pounds. He may need more time to add weight before he can be a full-time starter.
But there are plenty of reasons to love Lomu. He is a great pass blocker, and he has ideal movement skills for the left tackle position.
I have him clearly ahead of Alabama's Kadyn Proctor among offensive tackles.
The biggest reason this is a legitimate debate is that the Browns do not have any of their ideal starting five offensive linemen under contract for 2026. So this is as much a blank slate as you can have.
If you take positional value out of the equation, this is really a tough call. Both Ioane and Lomu have great strengths as blockers and are more than worthy of this pick.
Ioane may be more pro-ready right now while Lomu will need to get into an NFL weight room and add some strength to truly be physically ready.
That said, I'll give a slight edge to Lomu because of the potential he possesses. He's already a very sound pass blocker and has the feet that teams should always want in offensive tackles. You'll need to have trust in your offensive line coach and your strength staff to get the most out of him, but for a player you take in the 20s, you should expect a player at a premium position who needs a little work to reach his ceiling.
