By figures, the Cleveland Browns have succeeded with transport in their A shocking business of the early night with the Jacksonville jaguars. By vibrations, however, the browns could have exchanged the future of the NFL.
Cleveland and Jacksonville provided the first big thrill of the draft evening of the trade announcement of the Round 1 Thursday evening at NFL draftThis gave the Jags the opportunity to write the two -way College Tourbillon Travis Hunter. It is impossible to predict how Hunter will take place, but it is sure to say that it will be essential, since it will obtain important rehearsals on both sides of the ball. Heck, the Cleveland's own managing director, compared Hunter to Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Yes, Shohei Ohtani, the player who essentially conquered baseball, thanks to his elite skills in marble and on the mound. This is what Cleveland opted against the catch.
Admittedly, there are significant differences between a two -way baseball player and a double -meaning football player, starting with the fact that he is questionable that Hunter can play more than a handful of games on both sides of the ball. But it is not difficult to envisage that Hunter is the most visible quarter of the league, the kind of player who can disturb the opposition, no matter where he aligns and enhance the profile of his whole team at the same time. Cleveland, still in shock from a series of bad choices that led to the profession of Deshaun Watson, could have used part of this good will and this star power.
So, what did the Browns get exactly to abandon perhaps the most exciting player in the game? Categorical transport. Cleveland exchanged the choice which has become Hunter, as well as a choice of fourth round (n ° 104) and a choice of sixth round (n ° 200), and in return the choice n ° 5 (that they turned into Michigan Dt Mason Graham), a second round choice (n ° 36), a choice of fourth round (n ° 126) and – in particular – a choice of first round in 2026.

In other words, Cleveland has set up nearly 70 places above his choice of fourth round, and nearly 75 places from his sixth round choice, and obtained a first round in 2026. The move here for Cleveland is clear:
First of all, a replenishment of the draft of the franchise following the cleaning of the Watson 2022 trade pantry.
Second, and more importantly for the end of Cleveland, this gives the Browns several bites in the Apple quarterrrière, both in 2025 and 2026.

The quarter-Arrière 2026 draft class is planned to be much stronger than this year's harvest, with the Arch of Texas Manning, Nico Iamaleava of the UCLA, Drew Allar de Penn State and the sellers of Lanorris de Caroline du Sud opening the way. Cleveland is desperate – some would say that the franchise needs a quarter, and one of these players could provide the Boost that the browns need, gracious Jacksonville.

The Browns could have used Hunter, both like a sparkling candle on the ground and an out of range public relations boost for a besieged franchise. Cleveland has chosen to take another route, thinking that a winning organization wins over a single marquee player … Even a player who is two stars in one.
In one way or another, it is a business that Cleveland will remember for many years to come.
