It's officially draft week.
In three days, the first night of the 2025 NFL Draft will take place, in which the Browns hold a first-round pick for the first time since 2021 that sits as the second overall pick. They also have a total of 10 picks throughout the draft, which they could use to add young talent across numerous positions.
With it being draft week, let's check in with draft analysts and experts one final time on who they believe will be the Browns' choice at No. 2.
The pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Analysis: Reuter writes that Hunter is both the best receiver and cornerback in the draft, and the Browns could use another big-play receiver on the roster alongside WR Jerry Jeudy. Yet, Reuter also writes Hunter could line up on the other side of the ball across from CB Denzel Ward to limit options for opposing quarterbacks in the pass game.
The pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Analysis: Reid writes that while Hunter is the best player in the 2025 draft class, he also believes he is "the best two-way prospect in modern NFL history." While Reid believes Hunter should start on defense with an offensive packer of 15-20 plays, he sees how Hunter could boost the Browns offense by adding another playmaker into the mix.
The pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Analysis: Brugler writes that he doesn't see the Browns forcing the pick for a quarterback. At No. 2 with the best player available, he believes the addition of Hunter could provide a necessary spark on offense and defense.
The pick: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Analysis: Kosko writes that he views only two options for the Browns at No. 2 – Sanders or trade back in the draft. He highlighted Sanders' 94.3 PFF passing grade in the two-minute drill at Colorado during the 2024 season was the best by any quarterback since 2014.
The pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Analysis: Kiper writes that Hunter has been his No.1 prospect through the whole draft cycle, and he would play Hunter mainly on the offensive side of the ball to use his speed and ball skills as an advantage. Kiper also sees a space where the Browns could utilize Hunter on the defensive side of the ball – especially in high-stakes part of the games.
