Browns get good NFL draft news during their bye week
It feels like so long ago when we were looking at what the Cleveland Browns season could look like if they took down the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Back to back wins against AFC contenders would have put the Browns just one game out of the playoffs.
Two weeks later, Cleveland is out of the race, traded away DE Za’Darius Smith and have quickly become an afterthought. While everything about the 2025 offseason will depend on QB Deshaun Watson, the 2025 NFL draft has some interesting quarterbacks, even if one we might pass on, that could help.
After their Week 9 loss, the Browns draft position was fifth but nine teams were tied with just two victories. As we noted in our Week 10 rooting guide, Cleveland fans had a lot of teams they were cheering for.

We will have our new mock draft with the current order out soon.
