Following the 2026 NFL draft, Cleveland Browns fans were excited about the team’s young core adding a number of players at important positions, adding to a successful 2025 NFL draft class. At that time, only four veterans on the Browns roster cost more than $10 million against the salary cap, including QB Deshaun Watson, whom few expected much from, but is now in a position to start.
DE Myles Garrett, CB Denzel Ward, and WR Jerry Jeudy were the other three players with big cap hits in Cleveland. All
of that changed with the trade of Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, which will not become official until Tuesday, at the earliest.
Now, Browns fans once again have the NFL draft as their primary focus. Cleveland GM Andrew Berry had already started to add to his treasure chest of picks in a deep 2027 NFL draft, and now has the Rams first round pick.
Browns Future Draft Picks
The Browns are currently scheduled to have 11 selections in next year’s draft:
- Round 1 – Own, Rams
