Browns Lock In Two First-Round Picks at Nos. 6 and 24 After Wild-Card Results

The Patriots’ win fixed Jacksonville’s traded pick at No. 24, giving Cleveland expanded draft capital.

Overview

  • The first 24 slots will be set after Monday night’s SteelersTexans game, though trades can still change the order before April’s draft in Pittsburgh.
  • Jacksonville’s 27-24 wild-card loss and 13-4 record placed its slot last among wild-card losers, confirming the Browns’ second pick at No. 24.
  • The Jaguars do not own a 2026 first-round pick after sending it to Cleveland in last year’s trade to move up for Travis Hunter.
  • Despite the Day 1 absence, Jacksonville currently holds nine selections, including its second-rounder and three third-round picks, according to Spotrac.
  • Many analysts tab Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza as the likely No. 1 pick, with Tankathon listing the Raiders in the top slot as the order updates.
