The Cleveland Browns failure of a season in 2024 has laid the way for the 2025 NFL draft to help turn the team around. The Browns head into NFL draft prep with the second overall selection this year and a chance to make a huge impact on their team.

Rumors will swirl around the team given the struggles with Deshaun Watson, the need for a quarterback, Deion Sanders’ son (Shedeur Sanders) being one of the top prospects at the position and a number of interesting defenders valued at the top of the draft. While we know that most good quarterbacks are selected in the first round, that doesn’t mean Cleveland has to pick one this season despite their need.

With the Browns projected to have 12 draft picks heading into the NFL combine, this year’s draft could revamp the team’s roster. We’ve shared the rumors we’ve heard before the combine starts but everything can be considered a lie, smoke or will be overanalyzed during draft season.

The DBN staff debated what they thought Cleveland should do with the second pick before all of the combine activities that could certainly change things.

Our staff also has started knocking out NFL draft profiles on players that the Browns might be interested in. You will be able to find all of those as you scroll down this post. This post can be seen as your catch-all to know more about the prospects in this year’s draft.
