No NFL teams have completed a trade involving a first-round pick in the days or weeks leading up to the NFL Draft, which is practically unheard of. There is still time for that to change, and you may be surprised to hear of one player who could inspire such a move.
ESPN’s Peter Schrager reported on “Get Up” Tuesday morning that both the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants have been fielding calls about their first-round picks. The Browns have the No. 2 pick and the Giants have No. 3.
According to Schrager, teams that pick later in the first round are interested in potentially moving up for Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter and Ashton Jeanty.
“To move up to the 2 or the 3 spot it would be for Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter or the running back Ashton Jeanty, who everyone expects to go somewhere in that 5-8 range. There have been teams making calls and those teams are not immediately slamming down the phone.
“Everyone assumes it’s gonna be chalk, that this is gonna go Cam Ward, it’s gonna go Travis Hunter, it’s gonna go Abdul Carter — not so fast. I think the 2 spot gets very interesting if the Browns are listening to a ‘Godfather’ deal for them to trade back and for someone to trade up into the top three.”
