Back this year after a hiatus. Just couldn't work up the excitement without a 1st Round pick, but it's probably just as well. My target for the Browns in the 2nd Round in 2024 was Xavier Legette, WR South Carolina, who was a surprise selection of the Carolina Panthers in the 1st Round, and so wouldn't have been on the board when we picked. Likewise, my 2nd Round target in 2023 was Keeanu Benton, DT Wisconsin, who was taken by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2nd Round. We traded out of the 2nd and didn't make a selection until the 3rd, so another one we had no chance of drafting. So, with that said, let's move on to 2025!
1st Round, Pick 2 1) Travis Hunter WR Colorado 2) Abdul Carter Edge Penn St. I was all in on Carter from the time that we were slotted at #2, until this week. I think our defense would become a monster, with 2 of the top edge rushers in the league, which I see Carter becoming. His comp is Micah Parsons. Not just because he played at Penn St, but because he is a speed rusher with a similar body type, and has already shown the ability to rush the QB at an elite level. I think he's a can't miss prospect who will be selected to many Pro Bowls. Garrett and Carter would put unmatched pressure on the quarterback, and become the gold standard. The NFL is a copycat league, and the success the Browns D would have with that 2 headed monster would inspire many to try to emulate us. I would really love to select Abdul Carter here, but I've come off the pick. Why? Well, Travis Hunter is such a unique talent, and I'm not talking about him being a two-way player. His route running is top notch, his speed and elusiveness is special, but most of all, his feel for the game is almost unmatched. He is a generational talent. Who does he comp to? I can't really say. Can he be as good as Jamar Chase? I think he can. You can't take the chance on passing on this guy. You just can't.
