Browns Benefit from Rams' Loss, Enhancing 2027 Draft Position

The Cleveland Browns have improved their position for the 2027 NFL Draft following the Los Angeles Rams' recent 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Cleveland holds the Rams' first-round pick due to the Myles Garrett trade, meaning the Rams' ongoing struggles could yield a valuable selection for the Browns. The Rams now sit at 2-4 after consecutive defeats, while the Browns have a record of 4-2 after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 13-10.

Currently, the Rams' first-round pick is projected to be No. 10 overall, while the Browns' own selection is expected at No. 27. In their game against Arizona, the Rams briefly led 16-15 before the Cardinals secured a last-minute field goal. Despite their difficulties, the Rams still have 11 games left to improve their season. Meanwhile, the Browns are contending for the AFC North, even without Garrett, as their defense performed strongly against Baltimore.
