Browns secure No. 2 pick in make-or-break NFL Draft

Why it matters: The Browns are in a position, should they choose, to land one of the top quarterback prospects and fill several other roster holes.

State of play: The Tennessee Titans, who could also draft a quarterback, are locked in at No. 1.

• The consensus top-rated QBs in the draft are Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward.

The other side: There's no guarantee the Browns will take a quarterback with their first pick, especially with high-priced Deshaun Watson still on the roster.

• Top non-QB prospects include Colorado two-way player Travis Hunter, Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter or Michigan edge rusher Will Johnson.

The bottom line: The Browns will have one of the most expensive rosters in 2025, making the draft an essential and inexpensive way to improve the team.
