The Browns are in such an awkward spot organizationally. Yet as the holders of the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cleveland can make a maneuver that can benefit the club in the short term and provide the team extra ammo potentially needed to pick a quarterback in next year's draft.

If teams like the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, and Jets would like to use their top pick in the NFL Draft on the best player available despite a need for a QB, new reports may point to an interesting option early in Round 2.

While many mock drafts remained static, there have been developments around Shedeur Sanders as the Browns have shown interest at an all-star game.
