Report: Browns, Giants considering trade offers for draft picks
The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are considering offers for their second and third overall picks, league sources told ESPN's Peter Schrager.
Multiple teams inquired about the picks over the past 48 hours, and the Browns or Giants haven't closed the door on offers, Schrager adds. The expectation is that the picks will be used to draft defensive end Abdul Carter, cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter, or running back Ashton Jeanty.
The Tennessee Titans - who hold the first overall selection - aren't expected to trade their pick, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. Quarterback Cam Ward is projected to be the first player selected.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry revealed Thursday that Cleveland hasn't made a "hard decision" on how it's going to use the second overall pick. Giants general manager Joe Schoen noted Wednesday that New York is open to a deal for its No. 3 slot but is also comfortable with the available options in the draft.
Every team currently holds their first-round pick. It's the first time in the modern era that every team has held onto their first-round pick at the start of the league year, according to NFL Network's Kevin Patra. If no trades are made before Thursday, it will be the first time in over a decade that no moves happened in the first round between the new league year and the night of the draft, Patra adds.
The 2025 NFL Draft begins Thursday and goes until Saturday.
