Browns' Bold NFL Draft Trade: 2 Picks, 1 Future

On April 6th, the Cleveland Browns roll into the 2026 NFL Draft, holding first round

picks at number 6 in number 24.

That's prime real estate, but their front-off is love shaking things up to match their

roster gaps.

ESPN's Bill Barnwell floated a bold trade idea with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Browns would snag the Cowboys picks at number 12 in number 20, plus a second rounder

in 2027.

In return, Dallas grabs Cleveland's number 6 and number 24, along with a future fifth-round

pick.

This swap drops the Browns six spots from number 6 to 12, but bumps them up from 24 to 20.

It tilts toward Dallas now, so Cleveland sweetens it with that valuable future second to balance

the scales.

Fans and analysts see the upside for Cleveland grabbing top-wide receivers or offensive

tackles at those mid-first spots, dodging some rival teams.

It keeps two first rounders this year, while stacking extra ammo for next season's draft.

With all that capital, the Browns could pivot on draft night, trading again to chase perfect

fits.

This setup lines them up to build strong without forcing bad reaches.
