2025 NFL Draft Roundup: AFC North Day One Recap

Just like that, the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft has come and gone.

Once again, the four teams in the AFC North find themselves going about the team building process in the same way.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns all added defensive linemen in the first round, while the Baltimore Ravens stuck to their brand and added a versatile, play-making, high-IQ defensive back. The entire division got better on the defensive side of the football.

The Browns kicked off the draft in rather shocking fashion, moving off the No. 2 pick and passing on the chance to draft unicorn talent in Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter.
