Browns trade Myles Garrett, affecting Jets' 2027 NFL draft strategy
Summary

The Cleveland Browns traded Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams on June 3, 2026, impacting the New York Jets' plans for the 2027 NFL draft. As the Jets prepare to target a top quarterback prospect, they have three first-round picks, while the Browns now possess two following the Garrett deal. The Browns are expected to struggle in the upcoming season after trading away one of their star players, which could provide the Jets with an advantage in draft positioning. The Jets' draft strategy may also be influenced by the performance of their current quarterback, Geno Smith, in the 2026 season, as well as rookie Cade Klubnik's development.
