This week’s NFL Draft could be turned upside down amid a bombshell report on Tuesday that the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants could trade away their top picks.

The Browns hold the second pick behind the Tennessee тιтans and the New York Giants have the third choice. They were expected to tussle between two elite prospects in pᴀss rusher Abdul Carter and cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter.

But according to ESPN, both teams are now considering offers to trade those picks away after receiving calls in the last 48 hours from unnamed teams.

In the report’s phrasing, neither the Giants nor Browns is ‘outwardly rejecting’ attempts to acquire their top picks. 

Both teams are in dire need of an overhaul after miserable 2024 campaigns, and while the higher draft picks are a coveted prize, a package of players and future picks could force teams to consider a move at such a late stage.

Heisman Trophy winner Hunter is an especially intriguing player given that he can play both cornerback and wide receiver.

Giants GM Joe Schoen could opt to trade away his team’s No. 3 overall pick on Thursday

Last week, Browns GM Andrew Berry compared him to Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. 

The тιтans, meanwhile, are said to be holding on to the No. 1 pick for Thursday night in Green Bay, where they are widely expected to go for quarterback Cam Ward.
