The Cleveland Browns, in many ways, are going to end up deciding the fate of the 2025 NFL Draft. Holding the second overall pick, they have a chance to remake their franchise in an instant by adding a quarterback right at the top. Or, they could choose to be more patient with their retooling by bringing on either of the best players in the draft: Penn State’s Abdul Carter or Colorado’s Travis Hunter. Remember, the Browns recently traded for quarterback Kenny Pickett, then signed quarterback Joe Flacco in free agency. Here’s what the latest mock draft from PFSN anticipates they will do in Green Bay, Wisc. PFSN’s Ian Cummings cut to the chase and went best available in his latest mock draft.

“Next to a QB, the Cleveland Browns’ biggest need is more playmaking talent. There’s arguably no QB worth taking at No. 2, and Andrew Berry has said he views Travis Hunter as a WR first,” Cummings said. The Cleveland Browns currently own the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft following their loss to the New York Jets, along with the 19th selection courtesy of the Jacksonville Jaguars. In this seven-round mock draft, the team takes a swing at a franchise quarterback and spend their first six picks on offensive players. We'll be using NFL Mock Draft Database's simulator for this mock, and the rule is that for each selection, a player must be ranked at or below ten spots higher than the pick slot...

This is to create some level of intrigue and variety with each selection, but to also add some degree of reality. Simpson's physical traits will be under scrutiny throughout the pre-draft process, as teams try to determine how high of a selection he is truly worth. However, his performance this year his difficult to argue with, as he's displayed excellent efficiency, throwing 21 touchdowns to only one interception. He's not elite in any area, but he's solid in just about all of them. He has enough arm strength to make all the throws, accuracy to fit the ball into NFL windows, solid athletic ability to manuever around within the pocket and to create outside of it, and... Simpson is a one-year starter, which is certainly concerning, but the fact that he'll end up having a larger sample size to work with due to the College Football Playoff is a positive.

He has a great chance this weekend to further solidify his stock, as the Crimson Tide face a top-10 defense in the Oklahoma Sooners. Simpson may not have the natural talent of a typical top QB prospect, but he's played great football this year, and if the Browns aren't picking first overall, they may not have much of... Billing Simpson as "better than nothing" is selling him short - he's a good prospect with an NFL future. Whether or not he's a true top-five prospect remains to be seen. The Browns need the Jaguars to continue losing games, otherwise, picking in the 18-22 range isn't going to land then a top offensive tackle or wide receiver prospect. With Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Makai Lemon off the board, Denzel Boston from Washington is the next man up.

Standing 6-foot-4 209 pounds, he towers over the rest of Cleveland's WR room, offering them size they haven't had in a long time. He uses his frame to his advantage, hauling in 18 of 31 contested catches over the past two years. He's got 730 yards and eight scores on 52 grabs this season, including a 153-yard outburst against Illinois.

Here’s what the latest mock draft from PFSN anticipates they will do in Green Bay, Wisc. PFSN’s Ian Cummings cut to the chase and went best available in his latest mock draft. The Cleveland Browns have a golden opportunity to transform their franchise in this year's NFL Draft, even if the organization may pass on selecting a franchise quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick.

Cam Ward is projected to go No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans, leaving the Browns with the decision to select their next franchise quarterback (presumably Shedeur Sanders) at No. 2 overall -- or go with the best available player on the board. Cleveland struck out with the Deshaun Watson experiment, a move that damaged the franchise's reputation and hindered the Browns from actually contending in the AFC. The Browns were actually better without Watson than with him, making the playoffs two years ago with Joe Flacco in his late 30s. The 2025 season was a disaster for the Browns, who were one of the worst teams in the NFL as Watson struggled again.

Cleveland is in the process of moving on from Watson and eating the remainder of his contract, while head coach Kevin Stefanski works to rebuild a franchise that has been one of the worst... Fixing a 3-14 team won't be easy, but a good draft by the Browns could turn things around quickly. With the Browns having 10 picks in the draft, the opportunity is there to transform the franchise. In this Browns mock draft, Cleveland makes the call on what it should do at No. 2 and its four picks within the first three rounds. The 2025 NFL Draft is to take place from April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

More draft coverage can be found at CBSSports.com, including the weekly mock drafts and a regularly available look at the eligible prospects. Ah, the Browns. No other NFL team has a lower projected win total from the oddsmakers, with Cleveland's 2025 over-under at 4.5 wins and a massive, fully guaranteed contract still owed to injured QB Deshaun Watson. Kevin Stefanski will be coaching with his job on the line in 2025 and there are positional needs all over, including at quarterback. Cleveland has 10 picks, one short of the NFL high entering the draft, but five of them are in the sixth and seventh rounds. So it might make sense to consolidate and use any of the four sixth-rounders to move up a bit.

We won't project trades in this mock, but if the Browns pass on a quarterback at No. 2 overall, we could definitely see them packaging picks to move up from No. 33 and get back into the first round for a passer, especially if the right one falls past the Steelers at No. 21. First round, second overall: CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado It has been a long and painful search for the Browns, trying to land a franchise quarterback, and Baker Mayfield's success in Tampa only adds to the frustration of a terrible decision to invest...

Even with all that, this isn't a great year for quarterbacks, so the Browns take a surer thing in Hunter, that rare athlete who can help on both sides of the ball. He'll probably have a bigger impact on defense, where he can step in as a corner bookend with Denzel Ward, but Cleveland sorely needs help at receiver, so even in a moonlighting role, Hunter... RELATED: Travis Hunter on if NFL team forces him to play one way: 'Never playing football again' Complications with Deshaun Watson’s recovery from an Achilles injury have seemingly opened the door for the Cleveland Browns to consider selecting a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, that’s just one of several key concerns for Cleveland, as holes remain on both sides of the ball.

With limited flexibility in free agency, the Browns will likely rely on their draft capital to address multiple needs, including offensive tackle, cornerback and wide receiver. Ward has all the physical tools to succeed as an NFL quarterback and thrives on deep throws. His 29 big-time throws on passes of 20-plus yards in 2024 ranked second in the nation, as did his 131.5 NFL passer rating on those attempts. While not a first-round-caliber athlete, Amos has the size and physicality to thrive at the next level as a man coverage corner. His ball production was elite in 2024, as he tallied three interceptions and an impressive 15 forced incompletions for Ole Miss. Neal is a versatile back who excels as both a runner and receiver.

Over the past two seasons at Kansas, he forced a combined 127 missed tackles on runs and receptions. The Cleveland Browns have a remarkable 13 draft picks in this coming draft - a baker's dozen of selections for potential difference makers. While it's highly unlikely they hold onto all of them, in this exorcise they do. There have been plenty of questions around if the Browns will take a quarterback No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. In this mock, they have their cake and eat it, too.

Carter is the top edge rusher in the draft. Putting him opposite of Myles Garrett would unleash hell upon offensive lines across the league. The Browns will have a hole at offensive tackle with Jedrick Wills hitting free agency this March - Conerly fills that void. The Browns need real receiver help, and Royals is a name that may not be a trendy one, but would be a good pick. He only played in seven games in 2024, but still had 55 catches for 834 yards and six touchdowns. In 2023, he had over 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The first round of the NFL Draft is finally less than a month away and the countdown is on to finally figure out who the Browns will take at No. 2 overall. It also means mock draft season is close to ending, so it’s time to squeeze these things in. I did one post-Combine and now, a few weeks later, it’s time to update things. I’m using MockDraftDatabase.com for today’s mock and I’m not cheating the system. If I miss a player, I miss him and there’s no going back.

Remember the rule: If you think it’s crazy a player is available where I took him, blame the simulator. I have concerns about Sanders and would prefer Cam Ward, but it seems like the Titans are gearing up to take Ward at No. 1. If Ward falls to No. 2, it’s a no-doubt pick.
