The updated odds for who will be the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft

HOUSTON, TEXAS - NOVEMBER 2: Tytus Howard #71 of the Houston Texans runs on to the field prior to an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos at NRG Stadium on November 2, 2025 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Logan Bowles/Getty Images)Its funny how one trade can eventually spawn so many other deals, when you follow the rabbit hole. If you follow it closely, you can see that, over a span of a couple years, trading ZaDarius Smith away during the 2024 season to the Lions helped lead to the Browns acquiring new offensive tackle Tytus Howard from the Texans.Hat tip to Albert Breer for outlining the whole ordeal, which we put in our own words below:In November 2024, the Browns traded DE ZaDarius Smith and a 7th round pick to the Lions. In exchange, Cleveland received 5th (in 2025) and 6th (in 2026) round picks.In March 2025, Cleveland sent QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and that 5th round pick to the Eagles in exchange for QB Kenny Pickett.In August 2025, Cleveland traded QB Kenny Pickett to the Raiders in exchange for a 5th round pick in 2026.Today, the Browns used that pick from the Raiders to acquire OL Tytus Howard from the Texans.That mostly closes the loop, although technically, there is still a spinoff thread that remains. That 6th round pick originally acquired from the Lions in 2024 was traded, along with QB Joe Flacco, to the Bengals last season in exchange for a 5th round pick in the upcoming 2026 draft. You can see the Browns updated draft order here.Dealing for 5th and 6th round picks a year or two in advance often seems inconsequential at the time, but you can see how instead of finding a late-round flier in the draft, they can be used as a chip to improve the roster with a proven, veteran player.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink reckons Bukayo Saka deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Harry Kane and Declan Rice when it comes to England's Ballon d'Or hopefuls.The former Chelsea striker, who worked with the England coaching setup between 2023 and 2024, believes Saka has a genuine shot at claiming football's most prestigious individual honour.It's worth remembering that no English player has lifted the Ballon d'Or since Michael Owen took home the prize back in 2001.That's a 25-year drought, but the brilliant form of Kane and Rice at club level has got people talking about whether 2026 could finally end the wait.Speaking on Monday's talkSPORT Breakfast, Hasselbaink was asked to pick between the two frontrunners for the award."I think Declan Rice has been more or less perfect, as perfect as he can be over the whole season," he said."But then, if you look at what Harry Kane is doing in Germany - it's just ridiculous. So, either one of the two is good for me."Kane sits just behind Kylian Mbappe with most bookmakers after banging in an astonishing 45 goals across all competitions for Bayern Munich this season.Rice, meanwhile, has been instrumental in Arsenal's push for their first league title since 2004.When the conversation turned to England's starting lineup for the 2026 World Cup, Hasselbaink had no hesitation about who should occupy the right-wing position.The Dutchman was emphatic that Saka is the obvious choice for that role with the Three Lions."You asked me that question earlier about Harry Kane and Rice - the Ballon d'Or," Hasselbaink explained."I think Saka would be very, very, close behind them, or in that same group. That's how much I think of him."It's a glowing endorsement for the Arsenal winger, who has established himself as a regular starter for England across their last three major tournaments.Saka's numbers this season haven't quite matched his previous campaigns, with eight goals and seven assists from 36 appearances for the Gunners.That's a noticeable drop from last term when he managed 12 goals and 14 assists in 37 games.Still, the 24-year-old remains absolutely vital to an Arsenal side currently sitting five points clear at the top of the Premier League as they chase a stunning Quadruple.His value to the club has been recognised with a bumper new contract at the Emirates.Saka will pocket more than 300,000 per week, making him Arsenal's highest-paid player ahead of Kai Havertz.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
