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.

Trapasso projects the Titans to take Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter at the top spot with Sanders next off the board. The Giants take Miami quarterback Cam Ward, followed by LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell to the New England Patriots and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson to the Jacksonville Jaguars .

Ever since the offseason began for several teams and the first half of the NFL Draft order was decided, debates have sparked on what players will go where in the top five. In particular, the Cleveland Browns are the wild card when it comes to the top five.
