By trading Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, the Cleveland Browns signal a continued pivot to the future, hoping to collect assets over the next few years.
The Browns are no strangers to this strategy, as Andrew Berry is not afraid to build a war chest of draft picks. Cleveland had multiple first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and that should continue next year after the team sent Garrett away.
With the Browns considered as one of the worst teams in the league, Cleveland hopes this path helps the team build up its roster over the next few years. Over the next three years, the Browns are well-equipped to add a boatload of talent in an attempt to return to competitiveness.
Here's a look at the Browns' future draft capital over the next three years.

The Browns sent Garrett to the Rams for a package headlined by pass rusher Jared Verse, but the three draft picks also stand out. Cleveland is adding three picks within the first two days of the next three NFL Drafts, including a first-round pick in a stacked 2027 draft.

The Browns now own 11 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft and are just the second team to have multiple first-round picks next year, joining the New York Jets. Much of Cleveland's draft capital this year comes on the third day, as seven of the 11 picks are after the third round.
Still, the Browns' accumulation of draft capital puts them in prime position entering a 2027 NFL Draft that is widely expected to feature a strong quarterback class.
While that draft is still a year away, college players like Arch Manning, Dante Moore, LaNorris Sellers and Darian Mensah headline those eligible. That doesn't even include non-quarterbacks like Jeremiah Smith, Colin Simmons, Dylan Stewart and Leonard Moore.
Although Cleveland's own pick should be higher than the Rams' selection, Cleveland could use the Los Angeles pick to trade up if the Browns are better than expected this season. Otherwise, the deep draft should allow the Browns to take a really good player late in the first round.

Cleveland is already getting a head start on the 2028 NFL Draft, collecting a second-round pick from the Rams in the Garrett deal. The Browns own all of their draft picks in the first six rounds in 2028, and are now the first pick to trade for a pick in the first three rounds of this draft.

This is the first year that NFL teams can trade for picks in the 2029 NFL Draft, so Cleveland took advantage by adding a third-round pick in three years. Cleveland is known for stockpiling picks, so it's no surprise that they added a pick in 2029 before they traded a pick for the 2029 NFL Draft.
