Per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are considered longshots to trade out of the second and third picks, respectively, despite multiple teams calling to gauge their interest. Schultz did note the Browns are still "listening" when teams call with "legitimate" offers.

It’s football Christmas, and all of the excitement, pain, joy, and fury of the season subsides for every fan to celebrate the future and potential of their teams. For the Browns, this is a particularly important draft, having mentally moved on from quarterback Deshaun Watson as they begin working towards a brighter future .

The Cleveland Browns find themselves in a familiar, but unwelcome position. The organization is at the bottom of the NFL barrel after a 3-14 campaign in 2024, their 15th season below .500 over the last 17 years.
