The Browns have the overall choice n ° 2 tonight, and the wide receiver / half of Travis Hunter is the favorite of betting to go. The team also has calls and calls on the field on the exchange of choice, because this is what teams do with high choices.
Whenever the Browns select in the first round, it will be their first round choice since 2021. They took the Greg Newsome II corner half with the 26th global selection that year.
Deshaun Watson cost the Browns their last three first round choices, which were finally exchanged by Houston.
As Tony Holzman-Escareno, the main researcher of the NFL, points out, the three selected players where the Browns had to choose in the first round were the receiver Brian Thomas (to the Jaguars with the 23rd choice in total in 2024), the ball carrier Jahmyr Gibbs (in lions with the 12th choice in 2023) and the defensive peak).
It would be three solid runners on their list today.
The cost of the acquisition of Watson – in the ceiling space and the recovery choices – was an albatross around the organization’s neck. . . and continue to be. Browns are not likely to have the wound Watson on their active alignment this season, but at least they will have a first -round recruit.
