The Cleveland Browns, and their fanbase, head into 2024 with expectations of a team that is ready to compete for the AFC North title and more. With all of the resources, including the Deshaun Watson trade, poured into the roster, the Browns must make the playoffs, at a minimum, to make it all worth it. Gone are the days when the next NFL draft was going to save the team. Back are the days when Cleveland fans get to think about what it is like to have a first-round pick. Generally speaking, NFL mock drafts are not for predicting what will happen. Instead, it is a chance to start to get to know players’ names, what could be and just to have a bit of excitement for the upcoming draft. 2025 mock drafts the day after the 2024 one ended is even more of a spitball toward the future.
