Yahoo Sports NFL mock draft from PFF has the Browns NOT taking a QB
The Cleveland Browns are at a crossroads.
With the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, do they take a QB to take over for Deshaun Watson? Or do they go with an incredible two-way athlete?
The answer from our latest NFL mock draft from Christian D'Andrea -- a mini mock! -- is that they go with Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. But in a new mock from PFF, Trevor Sikkema has the Browns going with Sanders' teammate Travis Hunter at No. 2, giving the Giants a shot at Sanders at No. 3.
What's his reasoning for taking the Heisman Trophy winner and not the quarterback? Here you go:
The Browns getting the No. 2 pick means that a quarterback could be in play. I also like the idea of them exploring all options to trade down, especially if they don’t take a quarterback here (I would not). But with this being our first mock with the solidified non-playoff draft order, I didn’t want to do any trade-downs. Instead, I stay true to the big board and give the Browns the best playmaker in the draft in Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.
Hunter was the third-highest-graded cornerback (90.6) and the sixth-highest-graded receiver (89.0) in the FBS. He could legitimately play on both sides of the ball in Cleveland. I would slot him in full time at cornerback with about 10-15 plays at receiver each week.
There you have it! Check out the latest mock draft from D'Andrea and the current NFL Draft order after Week 18.
