The Browns selected Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion with the 24th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Concepcion’s profile took a meaningful step forward in 2025. After two productive seasons as N.C. State’s primary slot receiver, he transferred to Texas A&M and showed his game could scale outside. Concepcion led the Aggies in all major receiving categories, finishing with 61 catches for 919 yards and 10 total scores. The 21-year-old earned consensus All-America honors as an all-purpose threat, adding 25 punt returns for 456 yards and 2 scores. His quickness and make-you-miss ability really show up on tape. He averaged a healthy 15.1 yards per catch and 7.2 yards after catch per reception last season. He’ll need to clean up the drops, though. Concepcion posted drop rates of 10.3% and 11.7% over the past two years.
Draft Sharks Rookie Guide: “Concepcion’s burst, run-after-catch ability, and alignment flexibility fit today’s offenses. Concepcion carries mid-first-round appeal for rookie drafts and WR3 value in startup drafts.”
Concepcion joins a wide-open Browns WR corps that also includes Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Tylan Wallace, and Isaiah Bond. Concepcion's talent level and draft status make him a favorite for starter-level snaps right away.
Still, we'd keep fantasy expectations in check. Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson project for 2026 starts, making this one of the shakiest QB situations league-wide.
Long-term, it's easy to like the spot here.
Concepcion will have a shot to establish himself as the WR1 as early as 2026. Cleveland could also find its QB of the future next year, when the position is expected to feature much more talent.
Concepcion lands inside the top-36 of our PPR dynasty WR rankings.
