Zac Jackson shares some of his gut feelings as we inch closer toward decisions being made on Cleveland 2025 roster.

In the latest mock from our Christian D’Andrea — a top-five mini-mock — he had the Browns taking Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. But in Mel Kiper Jr.’s first mock of the year for ESPN, he had Sanders’ teammate Travis Hunter going to Cleveland and Sanders going to the New York Giants at No. 3.

Longtime ESPN and college football analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first mock draft of the 2025 NFL draft season. In the mock, he has the Browns selecting the reigning Heisman winner.

The Cleveland Browns' No. 2 overall pick has enough value that they should seriously consider trading it away.

We are getting close to the Super Bowl which means we are only less than 100 days until the NFL draft. One of the next major events the Browns have to look forward to is the draft, where they once again have a first-round pick.

Cleveland Browns: “Take a QB or trade back,” asks ESPN’s Jason Reid. “That's the Browns' dilemma. Likely stuck with Deshaun Watson's contract until 2026, the smart play would be to draft a QB while also signing a veteran through free agency.”

In his debut mock draft for the 2025 class, Kiper has Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders dropping to the Giants at No. 3. This is a dream scenario for Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who has scouted Sanders plenty and might need to take a quarterback to save his job.

Of their picks in the final five rounds in the draft, only James Hudson III and Tony Fields II were on the roster in 2024. Hudson was the last of those players to play with the Browns, playing until Week 4 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.

If the Browns don’t love a QB in the 2025 NFL draft then they shouldn’t take one. Instead, sell the farm to one of these teams!

A proposed trade would see the Cleveland Browns trade the No. 2 pick to the Minnesota Vikings for J.J. McCarthy and draft picks. The post Browns Move No. 2 Pick for Vikings QB, Draft Haul in Trade Proposal appeared first on Heavy Sports.
