The 2025 NFL Draft is two weeks away and nearing quickly. There’s still some uncertainty around the top of the draft, but the stars are beginning to align for Cam Ward to be the first player taken, with the Tennessee Titans considered the heavy favorite to be the team picking him.
Then come the Cleveland Browns, who are in an odd position given their holes on the roster. Their biggest hole could very well be at quarterback, but there are some incredible talents that will be available to them at No. 2. That means that while Shedeur Sanders is an option, a generational talent like Travis Hunter might make more sense. Therein lies the front office’s conundrum.
