As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, five franchises are contemplating trading down from their early picks. The Arizona Cardinals (No. 3), Tennessee Titans (No. 4), New York Giants (No. 5), Cleveland Browns (No. 6), and Washington Commanders (No. 7) are all in discussions to potentially move down in the draft order to acquire additional picks. NFL senior reporter Albert Breer highlighted that these teams are struggling to find other franchises willing to trade up, primarily due to a weak quarterback class this year. With only two quarterback prospects projected within the Top 32, teams are cautious about moving up. However, Breer mentioned that players like Arvell Reese, an edge-rusher/linebacker from Ohio State, and Jeremiyah Love, a running back from Notre Dame, could motivate teams to consider trading up, with the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys identified as potential candidates for such moves.
