Cleveland Browns weigh options as NFL Draft approaches with focus on Abdul Carter and quarterbacks

The 2025 NFL Draft is approaching, and teams are evaluating key prospects. The Cleveland Browns hold the No. 2 pick and may consider Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter instead of a quarterback, as Deshaun Watson's injury raises concerns. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has declared for the draft, but opinions on him vary widely among scouts. He is expected to perform well in workouts, which could improve his draft position despite concerns about his deep-ball accuracy. Ohio State's Jack Sawyer and Tennessee's James Pearce Jr. are also gaining attention as potential first-round picks. Meanwhile, Syracuse running back LeQuint Allen Jr. aims to boost his stock at the upcoming Senior Bowl after a strong college season.
