The Browns are in such an awkward spot organizationally. Yet as the holders of the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cleveland can make a maneuver that can benefit the club in the short term and provide the team extra ammo potentially needed to pick a quarterback in next year's draft.

2022 was a nightmare class for quarterbacks not named Brock Purdy, who was Mr. Irrelevant. The Falcons made Desmond Ridder the second quarterback taken in this draft by using the 74th pick on him. Ridder has thrown just 16 touchdowns to 14 interceptions and is now a backup quarterback.

Browns GM Andrew Barry told reporters that he will not trade star Myles Garrett this offseason, even for a package like two first-round picks.
