The Cleveland Browns own two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting at No. 6 (their own pick) and at No. 24 (Jacksonville Jaguars).

With two first-rounders, it's hardly a surprise to hear the team mentioned in trade rumors. But it's a bit different for the Browns. They are reportedly open not just to a big trade-up, but also to a move-down in the draft.

According to Essentially Sports' Tony Pauline, the Browns are open to trading down in the draft all the way outside the top 10 picks, which could feature a link-up with the Dallas Cowboys.

Browns reportedly open to trading out of top-10 of NFL Draft

"I'm told the Browns, as of now, would have no problem moving out of the top 10 if the right offer is put in front of them," Pauline writes.

With the Browns open to moving down from the No. 6 pick to outside of the 10th pick, the Miami Dolphins, Cowboys, and any other team picking after the 10th overall should now be in the running for a big move-up in the draft.

Of course, the further out a team is, the more expensive the cost will be. For the Cowboys, who own the 12th and 20th picks, there could be a fascinating trade in the works with the Browns if they're going to move up for a premier player.

Sonny Styles, , Ruben Bain Jr., or even a falling David Bailey or Arvell Reese could be trade-up targets for a team outside of the top-10. Carnell Tate is another name to monitor as well for a blockbuster trade-up.
