The Cleveland Browns select quarterback Cam Ward, the most gifted thrower in the class. Ward plays with a rare effortlessness for the position. He has the arm to make any throw and the speed to escape pressure. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound quarterback loves to hunt for the big play.

The Cleveland Browns have a remarkable 13 draft picks in this coming draft - a baker's dozen of selections for potential difference makers. While it's highly unlikely they hold onto all of them, in this exorcise they do.

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.
