Analysts weigh in on who the Cleveland Browns might select with the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

The Cleveland Browns are one of the worst franchises in the NFL. They have had awful luck at the quarterback position. Cleveland has started 40 quarterbacks since returning to the league in 1999. The latest quarterback to start for the Browns was Bailey Zappe in Week 18 this season.

Mel Kiper, draft expert for ESPN, has the Cleveland Browns passing on a quarterback for arguably the best player in the draft.

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.

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.

A proposed trade would see the Cleveland Browns send the New York Jets the No. 2 pick and more in the 2025 NFL draft for four picks. The post Browns Send No. 2 Pick for 4 Picks to Jets in Trade Pitch appeared first on Heavy Sports.
