Browns draft Washington WR Denzel Boston at No. 39

sportsApr 24, 202624516

The Cleveland Browns selected Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston with the 39th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, making him a second-round addition to their receiving corps. Boston is a 6-foot-4, big-bodied pass catcher who led the Washington Huskies in receiving yards in 2025 and built a reputation for contested catches and meticulous hand work developed in long practice hours. The Browns will use Boston as a large target on the outside and in the red zone, adding a physical mismatch and more depth behind Cleveland's existing receivers.

"You remember his dad, David Boston, first-round pick out of Ohio State in 1999." - ESPN's Mike Greenberg on Browns pick, WR Denzel Boston. Denzel Boston is not David Boston's son, and they're not even related. 🏈📺🎙️#NFL #NFLDraft

Greenberg: “Steelers take Germie Bernard, son of Pennsylvania legend Andy Bernard”

First the indignity of being picked by the Browns and then this. Denzel doesn’t deserve any of this.

Hope Mike Golic is cracking open a few cold ones.

How does that asshole still have a job

Greenberg doesn't know what he's talking about? No way! 😒

No. 39, Cleveland Browns: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Oh I really like this, especially with Concepcion. I think Boston’s game has been a little overhated, he’s got some underrated wiggle as well as being a catch point monster. Nice complementary duo

Browns WR combined to score 4 TD in 2025. K.C. Concepcion and Denzel Boston combined to score 52 TD the last 3 seasons.

Surprised that the Bills went edge rusher instead of Denzel Boston or Kayden McDonald, but it's a need.

You reminded your fellow elder millenials that David Boston exists and we're all grateful. He gained at least 2 abs in that one offseason between AZ and SD.

Greeny finally apologized for saying David Boston was his dad!

Is De'Shaun Stribling a first round dynasty rookie pick? We've got the 10 guys from Round 1 + Denzel Boston. I think I have him ahead of Bernard. Maybe Eli Stowers is the other option. Maybe we get a RB soon to a good spot.

I like the Concepcion-Denzel Boston 1-2 punch better than I like Concepcion or Boston for the Browns. miketanier.substack.com/i/192874257/...

denzel boston’s name combines a hall of fame actor with the city most likely to hurl a racial slur at said actor

@spencito.bsky.social

In different mocks this offseason I drafted Spencer Fano, KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren to the Browns as first-round picks. They got all four of those guys across the 1st and 2nd round so far. Pretty wild.
