Browns Trade No. 2 Pick; Jaguars Select Hunter

Ahead of and during the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns made two significant trades. First, they swapped late-round picks with the Houston Texans, moving up to the 166th pick and gaining a 2027 fifth-rounder, while Houston received additional sixth- and seventh-rounders. The Browns then traded the No. 2 overall pick and late-round selections to the Jacksonville Jaguars, receiving the No. 5 pick, 2025 second- and fourth-round picks, and a 2026 first-round pick. Jacksonville used the No. 2 pick to select Colorado's Travis Hunter, a highly regarded two-way player. Analysts view the Jaguars' move as a bold and costly effort to acquire Hunter, while the Browns prioritized building future draft capital. These transactions reflect aggressive, franchise-shaping strategies for both teams.
