Browns Explore QB Trade Options Ahead of NFL Draft

The Cleveland Browns are facing a quarterback dilemma as they prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, holding the No. 2 overall pick. With Deshaun Watson's injury sidelining him, and recent trade acquisitions like Kenny Pickett not solidifying their future at the position, the Browns are exploring options. Analysts suggest that the draft class is weak at quarterback, with Cam Ward projected as the top pick and Shedeur Sanders possibly slipping in value. Former Browns QB Brian Hoyer has recommended trading for Joe Milton III, while others propose a dual-draft strategy to secure both Sanders and another quarterback. Speculation also includes the possibility of the Browns trading up to the No. 1 pick to secure Ward, or trading down if they miss out on their desired targets. The team's decisions will hinge on their assessment of the current QB class and playoff performance expectations.
