As one of five two-win teams over halfway through the season, the Cleveland Browns are in a tight race for the no. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Browns currently sit at 2-7 and are in the midst of a lost season. Seeing the team as sellers over the trade deadline brought a harsh reality that these Browns are in a tough spot going forward. Their so-called franchise quarterback -- or who should have, could have been -- is out for the season due to injury and, even when Deshaun Watson was healthy, the veteran quarterback was playing football at a historically bad level. With many fans looking ahead to the offseason, already, it's that time to start looking at the draft class. As many fans do when their teams seemingly have no hope, Browns fans can only look ahead and hope for better things in the future. In the upcoming draft, the Browns are going to have to be skillful. They are cash-strapped because of the Watson contract and, needing to replace him somehow, will have to go by way of the draft.
