The Cleveland Browns possess the second total choose within the 2025 NFL Draft. They’re seemingly hoping that Miami’s Cam Ward, the “consensus” No. 1 quarterback on this yr’s class, stays accessible after the Tennessee Titans make their choice with the primary total choose.
Nonetheless, Browns insider Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland/The Land on Demand and NFL reporter Darryl Slater of NJ Advance Media for NJ.com consider the Titans will take Ward with the draft’s high choose. Thus, Grossi predicted in his newest mock draft that the Browns will commerce their No. 2 choice to the New York Giants for choose No. 3 and selection No. 65 this yr, together with a 2026 third-round choose.
Grossi thinks this might end result within the Giants taking Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders at No. 2 and the Browns touchdown Ole Miss signal-caller Jaxson Dart with the third choose.
Following the NFL Scouting Mix, some speculated that the Browns might choose Sanders with the second choose and that the Giants would “attain” for Dart at No. 3. Sanders has been linked with the Giants since a minimum of December. Nonetheless, numerous reports revealed that some groups do not view him as a first-round prospect after he allegedly “hit the fallacious notes in mix interviews.”
Maybe there’s cause to consider the Browns are a kind of golf equipment.
As of Thursday afternoon, the Giants and Browns continued to be talked about as potential landing spots for veteran quarterbacks resembling Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins, although the Atlanta Falcons appear critical about not releasing Cousins anytime quickly. Grossi wrote that “signing both Cousins or Wilson is likely to be the clearest sign but of the Browns taking a place participant aside from quarterback with their first choose,” and ESPN’s Field Yates thinks Cleveland might draft Colorado extensive receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter over each Sanders and Dart.
Apparently, Dart’s supposed rise in draft inventory has coincided with Sanders sliding down the board in mock drafts. It is troublesome to know what to consider in the course of the draft course of’s “smokescreen season,” nevertheless it’s value noting that NFL insider Connor Hughes of SNY shared on March 5 that a minimum of “one workforce supply” had Dart ranked forward of Sanders following the mix.
It stays to be seen if the Browns or Giants can be daring sufficient to pick out Dart over Sanders with the second choose within the draft.
