The Cleveland Browns own the No. 6 and No. 24 overall picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Thanks to trading down with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year with the Travis Hunter pick, they have an extra first-rounder this year.

A year later, the Browns are once again the subject of trade rumors leading up to the draft. Though with a weaker draft class, there's been plenty of reporting that teams aren't that interested in moving up.

However, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano, the Browns, which would love to move down the board, got some good news about possible interested teams in moving up the board for the No. 6 pick.

Browns get good news on trade with No. 6 pick

"It seems as if everyone knows the analytics-driven Browns would love to trade down from No. 6," Graziano writes. "Many people I've spoken with believe there will be teams interested in moving up to that spot to get ahead of the Commanders, who pick at No. 7 and are believed to have their eyes on Styles, Downs, Tate and Love."

This report from Graziano indicates that the Browns are clearly hoping to move down from the No. 6 pick in this year's draft. That's not a surprise at all.

But what is more fascinating about this report is that there are reportedly teams interested in jumping in front of the Washington Commanders, who pick right after the Browns.
