The Cleveland Browns could trade their No. 2 pick to the Philadelphia Eagles as part of the draft shakeup caused by the Rams-Titans trade last week.
The Browns are reportedly shopping their No. 2 pick in an attempt to trade down in the 2016 NFL draft, but Cleveland are uncertain whether to go that path, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The report disclosed that "there is interest in the pick [second overall]," and rumors have it that the Browns could be considering to trade their No. 2 slot for multiple picks.
Browns coach Hue Jackson admitted that the team has not made up its mind on who to select in draft night, although several reports have Cleveland choosing a quarterback despite the offseason signing of Robert Griffin III.
"Obviously, there are some talented players in this draft. We're still in our process, still figuring out our direction," Jackson said, reports ESPN.
"Again, that's still two weeks away. We're getting closer, but we're still a little ways away from having to really nail it all down."
With the No. 2 pick readily at hand, the Browns could have a QB prospect in California's Jared Goff or North Dakota's Carson Wentz, who both are considered the top quarterbacks in this year's draft class. But if Cleveland intends to trade their pick, one potential partner is the Eagles, who are also hoping to acquire a QB.
The Eagles were linked to rumors about planning to trade up their draft pick to the Tennessee Titans, who previously held the top pick before trading it to the Los Angeles Rams. But with the Rams expected to select a Goff as first overall, the Eagles could move up to the second spot to draft Wentz, according to CBS Sports Senior NFL Columnist Pete Prisco's latest mock draft.
Alex Marvez of Fox Sports revealed what an Eagles-Browns trade would possibly look like. According to Marvez, the Browns could trade their No. 2 pick to the Eagles for the No. 8 pick and two third-round selections (Nos. 77 and 79).
However, Schefter does not buy any of the rumored potential trade-deal between the two NFL clubs, insisting that it would take more than a simple exchange of picks to close out such deal.
"Whatever it is, right now, it doesn't matter because there's no deal. There are issues between the teams that would have to get resolved before they could get a deal done anyway. So I think all of us are just speculating exactly what that compensation would be," Schefter told in an appearance on the 97.5 The Fanatic Morning Show, reports SB Nation's Brandon Lee Gowton.
Whether the Browns have a genuine interest to deal their No. 2 pick remains to be seen, with the team still mummed about who to pick in the draft. But anything can change, especially in the coming days leading up to the event.
