We are barely six months past the 2024 NFL Draft, with the 2025 version in Green Bay not firing up until the end of next April. It’s pretty commonplace to find teams dealing picks for the 2025 draft around ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
There were some 2026 picks dealt as well, parts of packages made by GMs hoping to still be employed two offseasons from now to use them. But the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Rams upped the ante even further.
The Ravens and Rams agreed to a deal involving Los Angeles cornerback Tre’Davious White in the hour before Tuesday’s deadline. White is heading to Baltimore, along with a seventh-round pick, for a seventh-round pick in return. Those seventh-rounders aren’t in 2025 or even 2026, however. They are from the 2027 NFL Draft.
These are the first 2027 draft selections to be traded, a full two-and-a-half years ahead of time!
