The Cleveland Browns 2025 draft is complete and now everyone thinks it’s necessary to slap a grade on it. I’ll wait till the current draft class actually plays. I’m a stickler about that. All in all, the Browns drafted very good players. The players drafted with the first four picks will play and contribute to the Browns 2025 season, barring injury. Of the last three picks one will definitely play and the other two will make the roster with the potential to play. Cleveland got value at every pick especially the last one. No one and I mean no one saw that coming. I’ve let it be know I wasn’t a fan of Shedeur Sanders, but that was at pick number two, number 33, number 36 and number 67. I would’ve been fine with picking him at number 94, but I understand the reasoning for taking Gabriel. Of course, many Browns fans flew off the handle because of it. Total meltdowns ensued all Friday night and Saturday morning. To be honest with you, I kind of enjoyed it. The media convinced the fan base they knew more then 32 NFL teams.
All these young men are of good character, and all will bring a higher level of talent to their positions. The knock on Sanders was he didn’t interview well. So what. The NFL is a good old boy network. I’m glad Andrew Berry saw the value of the pick. Let’s set one thing straight, Owner Jimmy Haslam had no control over the Sander’s pick. This was Andrew Berry’s pick. Don’t believe the crap that’s being so called reported. Haslam let the front office do their jobs. One last thing on the subject, Paul DePodesta provides analysis not opinions. He has no say on what happens with the Browns personnel. I blame that false reporting on Tony Grossi. He started it and never apologized for the hit job article he put out. If you want to listen to Grossi, just remember he wanted Sam Bradford over Myles Garrett and Sam Darnold over Baker Mayfield. Plus, he still can’t see the value of drafting Sanders in the fifth round. Go yell at some clouds Tony.
Next up we’ll finally get a true list of the undrafted rookie free agents the Browns have signed. Looking at the current information, I like three so far. Defensive tackle Adin Huntington, Tulane, offensive guard Dartanyan Tinsley, Cincinnati and my favorite safety Donovan McMillon, Pitt. All three could have been drafted. Next up is rookie camp, which starts May 9. After that, the next big date on the calendar is the NFL schedule release, which is May 14. I can’t wait to see who’s the Browns opening game opponent. I have the feeling the selection of Shedeur Sander will have some influence. Remember, when it comes to the NFL, it’s all about the money. Stay safe and Go Browns.
