Browns Consider Jaxson Dart in 2025 NFL Draft

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Cleveland Browns are reportedly considering several options at quarterback, including a potential trade for Derek Carr from the New Orleans Saints and selecting a QB with their No. 2 overall pick. Derek Carr's future with the Saints is uncertain amid rumors his reported shoulder injury may be a trade strategy, with the Browns mentioned as a possible destination for a late-round pick. If the Browns draft a quarterback, Shedeur Sanders is seen as a top option if Cam Ward is taken first, while Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart has also gained late-round traction. However, analyst Colin Cowherd has expressed skepticism about Dart's NFL potential, likening him to Zach Wilson due to his inconsistent performances against strong opponents, despite strong college statistics. Cowherd has rated both Sanders and Syracuse's Kyle McCord above Dart, questioning Dart’s ability to perform under pressure. The Browns' decision at quarterback could hinge on their assessment of these prospects and the evolving trade market.
