Following the conclusion of the Super Bowl, fans have turned their attention to the 2025 NFL Draft. Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward are expected to be among the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming draft. However, the Cleveland Browns may pass on both quarterbacks and have different plans.
ESPN draft expert Todd McShay heard from multiple sources that the Browns have different plans for the NFL Draft and do not intend to select a quarterback. McShay said (via USA Today):
"I’ve heard from multiple sources: Cleveland … they’re not pulling the trigger on a quarterback. They don’t believe that this is the year to do that. That they are not a quarterback in this class away. If it had been last year’s class, they feel really good that they can take off and run.”

The Cleveland Browns hold the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They have a strong opportunity to select the best fit for their team, and as per McShay, they might prefer to sign Kirk Cousins.
