Browns 2025 Mock Draft: Could Travis Hunter Be the Surprise Pick at No. 2?
The Cleveland Browns have a huge decision to make with the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft. While the spotlight is on quarterback Shedeur Sanders, there’s another name that’s causing some buzz: Travis Hunter, the dynamic cornerback/receiver from Colorado. Browns GM Andrew Berry even joked that he’d love to have both Sanders and Hunter after watching them at Colorado’s football showcase. So what if the Browns actually went for Hunter instead of a QB? Let’s dive into a possible draft scenario.
Round 1, Pick No. 2: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
In this mock, I took Travis Hunter at No. 2 instead of Sanders, who was taken earlier by the Arizona Cardinals. Hunter’s skills on both sides of the ball make him a rare and valuable asset. Last season, he had four interceptions, 11 pass breakups, and only allowed one touchdown. On offense, he was a beast with 15 receiving TDs, 1,258 yards, and 96 catches. The guy is a game-changer, but the real question is whether taking him instead of a QB could actually turn the Browns’ fortunes around.
Round 2, Pick No. 33: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Now, it’s time for the Browns to secure a QB. With the second pick in the second round, I’m picking Jalen Milroe, a dual-threat QB from Alabama. He has the potential to develop under offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who coached him in college. While some other QBs like Jaxson Dart might have been available earlier, Milroe offers a solid backup plan for the Browns after going with Hunter in the first round.
Round 3, Pick No. 67: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Next up, I’m adding some youth to the tight end position with Mason Taylor from LSU. Taylor, son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, is only 20 years old but shows great promise. With David Njoku already in the mix, Taylor could be a nice complement to the Browns’ offense. Plus, he only had one drop last season, showing solid hands and potential.
Round 3, Pick No. 94: David Walker, Edge, Central Arkansas
Finally, with the 94th pick, I’m going for David Walker, an edge rusher from Central Arkansas. He had an impressive 12 sacks last season and could add depth to the Browns’ pass rush. While this pick is a bit of a reach, Walker’s production in college shows that he could develop into a solid NFL player.
Conclusion
Overall, this draft got a C+ grade from Pro Football Focus. Hunter was a home run pick, but the rest of the draft, particularly the Milroe selection, didn’t sit well with the simulator. Still, I think it’s a solid draft, though I’ll likely tweak my picks in the next mock before the April 24 deadline. The Browns have some big choices to make, and this draft could reshape the team’s future.
