The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft is in the books. There may not have been quarterbacks flying off the board the way they had the prior year, but there were some big some moments Thursday night.
After Miami quarterback Cam Ward was taken No. 1 overall by the Titans, the Browns and Jaguars came together to deliver the first surprise of the night. Jacksonville surrendered a future first-round pick in order to move up and draft Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter. In total, there were four trades in the first round, including the Giants trading back into the first round to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. At the end of the night, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was still available.
Rather than looking behind, CBSSports.com looks ahead to Friday night where the Browns are scheduled to pick first at No. 33 overall. Here are the five best prospects available, according to the CBSSports.com prospect rankings:
- EDGE Mike Green, Marshall (No. 11 overall)
- WR Luther Burden III, Missouri (No. 14 overall)
- CB Will Johnson Jr., Michigan (No. 17 overall)
- S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina (No. 19 overall)
- QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado (No. 28 overall)
