2025 NFL Draft: Browns and Giants Shake Up the First Round
USAWed Apr 23 2025
The 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner. While the first pick seems set with the Tennessee Titans eyeing Miami quarterback Cam Ward, the rest of the first round could see some big moves. The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are both getting calls about their top picks and are even thinking about trading back into the first round.
The Browns and Giants are both in the spotlight. They are talking to other teams about their top picks. The Browns have the second pick, and the Giants have the third. Both teams are considering trading down, but they are also open to moving back up into the first round if the right deal comes along. The Browns have the 33rd pick, and the Giants have the 34th pick. These picks are at the start of the second round. They could trade back into the first round to get a fifth-year option on a player's contract.
Teams are interested in Colorado's Travis Hunter. He can play both wide receiver and cornerback. The Browns are really interested in him, but they are also listening to offers. The Giants are in a tough spot. They need a long-term quarterback and help for their veteran quarterbacks, Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. In February, they had Colorado's Shedeur Sanders as their top quarterback. But now, they have changed their minds. They seem to prefer Cam Ward and might try to get the first pick from the Titans.
The Browns and Giants might still need a quarterback. If they pass on one early, they could look at the end of the first round. Besides Sanders, Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart are other quarterbacks who could be available.
The Browns and Giants have a lot to think about. They need to decide if they want to trade their top picks or move back into the first round. They also need to figure out if they want to draft a quarterback early or wait. It's going to be an interesting draft for both teams.
