The Cleveland Browns hold the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft. They face uncertainty at the quarterback position with the controversial and highly-paid Deshaun Watson having suffered another rupture in his Achilles that could keep him sidelined for the 2025 season.
The Browns very well could invest that second-overall draft pick into the quarterback position. However, in a less-than-favorable quarterback draft class, the Browns might opt to go in a different direction, signing a free agent that can help them win immediately. ESPN recently linked the Browns to one former first-round pick that they could target this offseason.
