Overview
- Reports Tuesday said the Cardinals, Titans, Giants, Browns and Commanders are exploring trades down from the top 10, with interest tempered by limited quarterback demand.
- League sources told reporter Jordan Schultz that Dallas, holding picks No. 12 and No. 20, is a team to watch to move up for a targeted defender.
- Analyst Dane Brugler floated a specific swap with Cleveland in which the Cowboys would send Nos. 12 and 20 for No. 6 and No. 39 to secure an elite prospect and regain a second-round pick.
- At No. 4, Tennessee is weighing staying put against moving back, with Fernando Mendoza widely expected to go first and a pool of top options including Arvell Reese, David Bailey, Jeremiyah Love, Rueben Bain Jr. and Carnell Tate.
- Patriots executive Eliot Wolf said this class is stronger on the offensive and defensive lines and solid at receiver and tight end, a profile that helps explain why clubs like the 49ers at No. 27 are discussed as trade-down candidates to add Day 2 picks.
