As I wait for the NFL Combine (Feb. 24 – March 3) I’m going to continue to put out mock drafts. These drafts help me with learning the value of these players based on experts’ draft boards. After the combine, I’ll start paying attention to the player’s ages and their Relative Athletic Score (RAS). Both these factors help to more accurately predict the Browns draft. I’ll also not have any trades because it’s too early in the process. Here Goes.
Round One, Pick 2, Abdule Carter, DE, Penn St.
Round Two, Pick 33, Aireontae Ersey, OT, Minnisota.
Round Three, Pick 67, Darius Alexander, DL, Toledo.
Round Three, Pick 94, Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas.
Round Four, Pick 103, Will Howard, QB, Ohio State.
Round Five, Pick 165, Devin Neal, RB, Kansas.
Round Six, Pick 181, Oronde Gadsden, II, TE, Syracuse.
Round Six, Pick 194, Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas,
Round Six, Pick 202, Jordan James, RB, Oregon.
Round Six, Pick 216, Nick Nash, WR, San Jose St.
Round Six, Pick 217, Garrett Dellinger, IOL, LSU.
Round Six, Pick 257, Shemar James, LB, Florida.
I still feel the Browns will completely redo the quarterback room by signing a veteran starter, a veteran backup and a draft pick. In this draft I went with Will Howard. He’s nowhere near being a starter in the NFL in 2025, however he can develop into at least a solid backup and maybe a decent starter. With the top three picks, I addressed both the offensive and defensive lines. Running back, tight end and safety are draft needs and this a great draft to address those needs. It seems like Browns GM Andrew Berry always drafts a wide receiver and a cornerback. It’s the state of the current NFL. I also expect him to trade for a wide receiver. Finally I decided to add a linebacker because of the uncertainty of JOK’s health. Let me know what you think. Stay safe and Go Browns.
