The Cleveland Browns possess the second general choose within the 2025 NFL Draft. They’re doubtless hoping that Miami’s Cam Ward, the “consensus” No. 1 quarterback on this 12 months’s class, stays accessible after the Tennessee Titans make their choice with the primary general choose.
Nevertheless, Browns insider Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland/The Land on Demand and NFL reporter Darryl Slater of NJ Advance Media for NJ.com imagine 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 12 months, together with a 2026 third-round choose.
Grossi thinks this might consequence 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 may 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 no less than December. Nonetheless, numerous reports revealed that some groups do not view him as a first-round prospect after he allegedly “hit the improper notes in mix interviews.”
Maybe there’s purpose to imagine the Browns are a type of golf equipment.
As of Thursday afternoon, the Giants and Browns continued to be talked about as potential landing spots for veteran quarterbacks comparable to Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins, though the Atlanta Falcons appear critical about not releasing Cousins anytime quickly. Grossi wrote that “signing both Cousins or Wilson may be the clearest sign but of the Browns taking a place participant apart from quarterback with their first choose,” and ESPN’s Field Yates thinks Cleveland may draft Colorado vast 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 imagine in the course of the draft course of’s “smokescreen season,” however it’s price noting that NFL insider Connor Hughes of SNY shared on March 5 that no less than “one crew 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.
