Overview
- The Cleveland Browns traded the No. 2 overall pick, along with two later-round picks, to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for the No. 5 pick, a second-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a 2026 first-round selection.
- The Jaguars are widely expected to use the No. 2 pick to select Travis Hunter Jr., a standout two-way player from Colorado considered one of the top talents in the draft.
- The Browns' decision to trade down reflects their value-driven draft approach, prioritizing roster-building flexibility and long-term assets.
- Cleveland is now positioned at No. 5, with Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham among the potential targets under consideration.
- This move echoes the Browns' history of leveraging high draft picks into broader capital, as seen in their 2016 trade down from the No. 2 spot.
