After winning 11 games and reaching the playoffs in 2023, the Browns collapsed in 2024, going 3-14 with Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe all starting games at quarterback. Watson suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in Week 7 and re-tore the Achilles in January, which required a second surgery. There is no timetable on his return and he could potentially miss the entire 2025 season.
Cleveland holds the 2nd overall pick in the draft, their first first-round pick since 2021 and their highest pick since selecting Baker Mayfield 1st overall in 2018.
