Overview

  • Matt Miller’s 2026 mock draft projects Cleveland trading with the Giants, sending a package that includes two third-round picks to move up to No. 2 for Dante Moore.
  • Moore’s 2025 line features roughly 73% completions for 2,190 yards with 21 touchdowns and five interceptions, drawing praise for touch, poise and tough-pocket throws.
  • The Oregon passer is 20 with about 15 college starts, and Miller notes he is not certain to declare for the 2026 draft.
  • Cleveland’s current season has featured Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, with Gabriel concussed in Week 11 and Sanders now set to start in Week 12.
  • Analysts say Moore would join a young core that includes RB Quinshon Judkins and TE Harold Fannin Jr., with Cleveland also holding a second first-round pick that could target a receiver such as USC’s Makai Lemon.
