Much of the discourse around the top of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft has not shifted at this point in the offseason.
As teams around the league prepare for the second steppingstone in the draft process with the NFL Combine – set to take place in Indianapolis Feb. 27-March 2 – they will continue to gather information for picks across all seven rounds.
The Browns have a total of nine picks, as they hold their own picks in Rounds 2-4 and 6, as well as third-round pick from Buffalo (WR Amari Cooper trade), a fifth-round pick from Detroit (DE Za'Darius Smith trade), a sixth-round pick from Minnesota (DE Za'Darius Smith trade) and a sixth-round pick from Chicago (DT Chris Williams trade).
For our second installment, let's take a look at who different draft experts and analysts are predicting for the Browns second-round pick.
The pick: CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
Analysis: Miller writes that Amos had three interceptions in the 2024 season for Ole Miss and has the potential to start opposite of four-time Pro Bowler CB Denzel Ward due to his press-man skills and coverage instincts. He spent three seasons at Louisiana before transferring to Alabama for the 2023 season and transferred again to Ole Miss in 2024. In his collegiate career he totaled 121 tackles, eight tackles for loss, four interceptions, 31 passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
The pick: RB Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State
Analysis: Walter Football writes that Judkins is a tough runner who was productive at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State for the 2024 season. In two years at Ole Miss, Judkins totaled 545 carries for 2,725 rushing yards and 31 touchdowns, and averaged 104.8 rushing yards per game. He also added 37 receptions for 281 yards and three touchdowns. In his lone season at Ohio State, Judkins totaled 194 carries for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns, as well as 22 receptions for 161 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The pick: DT Tyleik Williams, Ohio State
Analysis: Pro Football Network writes that the Browns could use some depth for their defensive line in the 2025 season, and Williams was an explosive interior defender while at Ohio State. He has a low center of gravity who can generate pressure on passing downs and fill gaps in the run game. While at Ohio State for four years, Williams recorded 136 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, one fumble recovery returned for a touchdown and one forced fumble.
The pick: OT Cameron Williams, Texas
Analysis: The Browns could also use depth and youth on the offensive line, especially at left tackle. Dawand Jones may step into that starting role in 2025, but they will need to add backup to the position. In his time at Texas, Williams started 16 games and played a total of 37 games, serving as a linchpin for the Longhorns' offensive line. He took all 938 snaps of the 2024 season at right tackle and allowed a pressure rate of just 2.6% in 533 pass block plays, per ESPN Stats & Info.
The pick: CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
Analysis: Liskiewitz highlights Amos' size and physicality as traits that could help him thrive as a man coverage corner in the NFL. In addition to the three interceptions at Ole Miss, he also forced 15 incompletions.
