Shedeur Sanders was the surprise of the 2025 NFL Draft as he fell much further down the board than everyone expected before the Cleveland Browns selected him in the fifth round. Sanders was touted as a first-round talent in a weak quarterback draft class, but concerns over his interviews and other factors led to him falling all the way to the Browns who made the smart gamble on him at that point in the draft.

The Cleveland Browns’ offense should look better in the 2025 NFL season as they revamped the roster through the 2025 NFL Draft and free agency. Joe Flacco is currently slated to serve as the starting quarterback in Week 1, but he’s got some solid position players to work with. Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku will headline the passing game, while rookie running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson can revitalize head coach Kevin Stefanski’s run game.

Entering the 2025 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns will find it hard to win many games given the strength of the AFC North and the rest of the conference. The Browns might be a couple of years away from really competing in the playoffs, but the upcoming regular season is an opportunity to identify pieces to build around long-term. Defensively, Cleveland should remain a stout unit after they managed to extend Myles Garrett despite his trade request as well as the addition of Mason Graham.

The Cleveland Browns faced a monumental decision earlier in the offseason as Myles Garrett surprisingly made a trade demand. Garrett had grown tired of the franchise’s losing and seemed set on leaving, but the Browns were able to sway him to stay by signing him to a four-year, $160 million contract. The deal made Garrett the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history and contains $123.5 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause.

The Cleveland Browns have one of the most interesting quarterback rooms to monitor as OTAs go on in the NFL. While Deshaun Watson remains on the roster, the franchise has clearly moved on from trying to resuscitate his career as they added several quarterbacks to replace him. Veteran Joe Flacco is the early favorite to start Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season because of his familiarity with the system and his ability to keep an offense on schedule.

The Cleveland Browns entered the 2025 NFL Draft desperately needing to upgrade their quarterback room and they did just that by adding both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Browns took Gabriel in the third round and capitalized on Sanders’ fall and nabbed him in the fifth round. While the Gabriel pick was met with plenty of criticism and labeled a reach, there was praise for Cleveland gambling on Sanders so late in the draft.

The Cleveland Browns were the first pivot point of the 2025 NFL Draft as the overwhelming consensus was that the Tennessee Titans would take Cam Ward first overall. At No. 2, the Browns had their pick of Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter but instead the team decided to trade down to No. 5 with the Jacksonville Jaguars to pick up additional draft compensation. Jacksonville used the trade to take Hunter, while Cleveland wound up taking Mason Graham.

Shedeur Sanders slid down the board during the 2025 NFL Draft until the Cleveland Browns finally took him with the No. 144 overall pick. Sanders was a controversial prospect heading into the draft due to his fame and pedigree, but no one predicted he’d last until Day 3 of the draft. Early in the draft process, Sanders was most commonly mocked to Cleveland at No. 2, so the team got incredible value when they took him at No. 144.
