Report: Browns have spoken to Redskins about moving up to No. 5

With the NFL draft just days away, teams hoping to move up are no doubt making their best pitches to those picking in the top 10. 

One such team is the Cleveland Browns, who could be eyeing the Washington Redskins' fifth overall pick. Cleveland has reached out to Washington about moving up, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. 

Rapoport also notes that the Browns have spoken to the majority of the teams picking in the top 10 and they may be coveting Marcus Mariota. 

The Browns would probably like to get their hands on a quarterback, but it's highly unlikely they could land someone like Mariota at No. 5. The more realistic option would be drafting one in the later rounds. 

Cleveland has many needs, but moving up to No. 5 would figure to give them a decent shot of landing either Amari Cooper or Kevin White. With Josh Gordon's suspension and the departure of Jordan Cameron, the Browns are desperate for impact pass-catchers. 

For Washington's part, it remains unclear what its motive would be for trading down. The Redskins haven't had a first-round pick since 2012 when they took Robert Griffin III. It would take a very tempting offer for them to vacate the top five.
