Put the 2025 Cleveland Browns draft in the books and man it had its moments. On Thursday night the Browns traded out of the second overall pick with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The highlight of the deal was the Jags 2026 first-round pick. Friday night Cleveland used their four picks two add to their defense and bolster their offense, ending with a quarterback no one guessed was in the mix. Saturday provided the big splash the fan base had wanted in the first round.

Round 1, Pick 5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan. A three-technique, three down defensive tackle who can create constant backfield penetration. Has excellent first step quickness to make interior disruption and has instant read and response to beat lateral offensive movement. As a former wrestler, he can get great leverage on offensive linemen. Graham has a non-stop motor and has the ability to wreak an opposing offensive gameplan.

Round 2, Pick 33. Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA. A tackling machine. A three-down linebacker who fights through everything to make plays. Very athletic and has average speed but makes up for it with play recognition which makes him play fast. A sound technician who uses his ability as an open field tackler. He has a rare instinct for maneuvering in small spaces and avoiding blocks. Projects as a starter as an inside 4-3 linebacker who can play special teams as a rookie.

Round 2, Pick 36. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio St. A very talented scheme-versatile running back. Has the ingredients to be a three-down rusher who will excel when paired with a slashing style running back. Tough, productive inside runner who is efficient on runs outside the tacklebox. In college averaged a rushing touchdown every 16.4 carries over three seasons.

Round 3, Pick 67. Harold Fannin, Jr., TE, Bowling Green. Has the ability to stretch the field and make tough catches. Is very productive in space which allows him to beat coverage and maintain it. Has “automatic hands” which allows him to catch the ball at the nose and is great after the catch. Fights through contact and will use a stiff-arm to fight through tackles. Because of his size he won’t be an inline tight end.

Round 3, Pick 94. Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon. Has a tremendous amount of experience and productivity. He has poise and confidence in the pocket which allows him to trust his protection. He doesn’t get jittery or panics. Has elite touchdowns numbers with 189 scores over 64 games. Requires a ball control offense to offset his lack of arm talent. Dual threat potential increases on third down.

Round 4, Pick 126. Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee. Great one-cut running back who understands blocking schemes. Can find the rushing lane quickly. Has excellent burst to run inside and to fine the outside rushing lanes. Can run around tacklers and break free from their grasps. Excellent short-yardage back with a nose for the end-zone.

Round 5, Pick 144. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado. Has confidence and composure in the pocket. His accuracy and composure have allowed him to work around his average arm strength. Shows toughness to hang in the pocket once he locks on to his target. Pocket mobile but creates sacks with his mobility. He keeps his eyes downfield as the pocket compresses. Consistently accurate when balanced. Too willing to take a sack than throwing the ball away.
