If the Cleveland Browns do not draft a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick, Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter has become a fan favorite in the 2025 NFL draft. Pro Football Network’s Dalton Miller released his latest 2025 NFL mock draft, predicting the Browns will select Carter with the second overall pick.

Of their picks in the final five rounds in the draft, only James Hudson III and Tony Fields II were on the roster in 2024. Hudson was the last of those players to play with the Browns, playing until Week 4 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.

However, their best option may just be taking the best player available, and that is either Hunter or Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter. In a new mock draft written over at Daft on Draft, they have the Browns taking that route. They land Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick.

With so much chaos unfolding in the NFL Playoffs, where do things settle now that just four teams remaining while everyone else is in draft mode?

The Cleveland Browns had a dramatic year that ended in the fanbase looking ahead to mock drafts by the middle of October.
