POD Community Mock: With the 2nd pick, the Browns select…

With the second pick in the 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, the Cleveland Browns select…

One quarterback is off the board in our 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. The Tennessee Titans have predictably taken Cam Ward off the board.

So what do the Cleveland Browns do?

Their quarterback situation has been a mess longer than many of you have been alive, but every other passer in this draft class comes with significant questions. Will Cleveland pivot to the best pass rusher in the class? A generational enigma who can play both corner and wideout? Or will they shock everyone by going in a completely different direction?

It’s up to POD commenter workdontstop to determine the future of the Cleveland Browns. As acting general manager in our community mock, workdontstop represents the first potential pivot point in the draft.

With the second pick in the 2025 POD Community Mock Draft, the Browns have selected…

QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Here’s workdontstop explaining the pick:

Sorry, Coach Prime .

Team needs: QB Edge WR OT DT

Cleveland has a disastrous $230 million dollar investment into Deshaun Watson that’s currently failing. He’s likely to miss the entire 2025 season with a torn Achilles that he suffered in October 2024. To make matters worse, it ruptured again in the same foot by just rotating it while rehabbing. Era over.

The only addition to the QB room was trading for a Super Bowl winning quarterback from the Eagles (no, not that guy. The one with the two gloves). This is Kenny Pickett’s job to win by default. Free agency has dried for veteran quarterback unless Carson Wentz is available. smh.

Browns QB room has been a dumpster fire the last 10 years. Starting with Deshaun Watson, Jacoby Brissett, Baker Mayfield (somewhat), Tyrod Taylor, RGIII, Deshon Kiser, Cody Kessler, Josh McCown and Johnny Manziel. The time to break this curse has to be now.

Teams win behind the hands of the quarterback. Shedeur will certainly fit as the savior Cleveland fans and organization has been looking for over a decade. He stands at 6-foot-1 with a 74% completion rate his last season at Colorado. He threw for a total of 134 touchdowns with 27 picks in four years.

He plays with confidence and composure, and can buy time being mobile in the pocket. He’s an ideal fit in a Kevin Stefanski offense if you just look at his traits. If he can stop taking unnecessary sacks and start to throw the ball away more, he can be a more productive football player.

P.S. Myles Garrett did an interview with Andrew Siciliano on March 15 discussing the quarterback situation and stated “I like the idea enough to be here smiling in front of you, because I think we have a good chance of that happening and making the most out of it.” Drafting Sanders seems enough for me.

Other options:

– DE/OLB Abdul Carter

– CB/WR Travis Hunter
