The Cleveland Browns loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 has a chance to define the team’s season, as “the same ol’ Browns” is now back in play, unfortunately. Strangely enough, Cleveland did not see their AFC playoff position change at all, remaining in a tie for the final playoff spot, despite a level of despondency among the fanbase after two straight defeats.
With the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, it will be interesting if the Browns’ strategy changes now that they sit 5-4. Cleveland fans may have also changed their focus to the upcoming 2027 NFL draft order and what could be added, especially with an extra first-round pick from the Los Angeles Rams.

The Rams got Myles Garrett back in Week 9, and he put on a show. As noted in DBN’s Feed, he wasn’t the only Myles to do so this week:
Last week, the Browns’ two first-round picks were slotted at #16 (LA’s selection) and #18 (their own). After Week 9, Cleveland still owns the 16th and 18th picks, but which team is earning the pick has flipped:
Indianapolis Colts – Goes to the New York Jets
Dallas Cowboys – Goes to the New York Jets
Los Angeles Rams – Goes to the Cleveland Browns
Green Bay Packers – Goes to the Dallas Cowboys
Chicago Bears – Goes to the Tennessee Titans
If you had to bet an amount of money that mattered, how high do you think the Browns will be picking by the end of the 2026 NFL season?
