The Cleveland Browns are almost assured of owning a top 10 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after the team lost its 12th game of the season on Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cleveland’s 24-6 loss revealed that Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is not a player the team can build around after he completed 20 of his 36 passes for 152 yards and two interceptions.
With the franchise potentially in search of a quarterback either via free agency, trade, or draft, are the Browns willing to part with defensive end Myles Garrett to land a starting quarterback?
If the franchise is considering such a move, Browns analyst Tony Grossi said on Monday that he would not trust the current front office to make such a move.
“Here’s the thing: do I want to trust Andrew Berry with that? If you’re going to give up your best player, there’s got to be a pot of gold at the end of that. That means a quarterback in one of those two years, and I can’t trust Andrew Berry and (Paul) DePodesta to find it. They’ve passed up too many future hall of famers,” Grossi said.

The current Browns executives are responsible for acquiring Deshaun Watson from Houston as the team took a chance on the former Pro Bowl quarterback in 2022.
Watson’s deal is considered among the worst in league history as Cleveland surrendered three first-round draft picks and three other selections to add a player experiencing significant off-the-field issues while guaranteeing him a five-year, $230 million contract.
The Browns are currently projected to pick at No. 5 following their loss to the Bengals, a high spot to take a potential quarterback.
