Browns, Giants Reportedly Longshots to Trade No. 2, No. 3 Picks amid NFL Draft Rumors

With the Tennessee Titans already ruling out trading the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, the next two teams in line don't seem inclined to move off their spot either.

Per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are considered longshots to trade out of the second and third picks, respectively, despite multiple teams calling to gauge their interest.

Schultz did note the Browns are still "listening" when teams call with "legitimate" offers.

Per The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Travis Hunter is considered the primary target for teams if they move into the No. 2 spot.

Nothing is official until the picks are in, but the Browns and Giants have seemingly been locked in with their choices for some time.

Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry recently praised Hunter as a "unicorn" while comparing him to Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.

"It's a little bit like Ohtani, where when he's playing one side, he's an outstanding player," Berry said on April 17. "If he's a pitcher, he's a hitter, he's an outstanding player. You obviously get a unicorn if you use him both ways."

There has been a little more drama around the Giants' selection, but indications at this point are that they will select Abdul Carter.

Both teams have a need at quarterback and have been connected to Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart, though both of them seem likely to be available later if they wanted to trade back into the first round or potentially wait until their picks come up at the start of the second round.

B/R's NFL scouting department is projecting Hunter to the Browns and Carter to the Giants in its final mock draft. The mock also has the Browns trading back into the first round to acquire the No. 20 pick from the Denver Broncos and selecting Sanders.

There's some expectation that this year's draft could feature less first-round movement than normal in part because there's much less consensus around the players available.

Now, mere hours away from the start of the first round, it appears as if the top three picks are going to be made by the teams that currently own them unless something dramatic happens.

If the Titans, Browns and Giants stand pat, it will mark the first time since 2022 without a trade involving one of the top three picks.
