The NFL draft is a few hours away, but Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry has reportedly been working the phones. While most believed that those calls were about trading down out of the second overall pick, including with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where a lot of options would be there for the Browns, Berry has a lot of draft picks to work with.

Many wondered how the team would deal with having four picks in the sixth round and another late in the seventh. While the roster needs depth, that is a lot of late picks that might not make the roster. With three hours to go until the draft, the Browns have figured out what they want to do by making a trade with the Houston Texans:

The simplified way of breaking down the deal is that Cleveland traded their 7th-round pick to move up 13 spots in this year’s draft. They then dealt a 6th round pick this year to move up a round in the 2027 draft.

The Texans quickly confirmed the deal:

What do you think of this trade from the Browns perspective? Do you like getting 2 better picks for the price of 3 (and having to wait two years on one of them)?
