The Cleveland Browns are going to be busy Friday night. Will they land their quarterback of the future?

After Thursday’s trade out of the No. 2 slot, Cleveland landed a 2026 first-round pick from Jacksonville and also the Jaguars’ second-round pick in this year’s draft. So the Browns head to Friday with the first pick of the night — No. 33 overall — as well as No. 36 and two third-round selections, Nos. 67 and 94.

The Browns don’t have to draft a passer immediately, and we’ll take general manager Andrew Berry at his word after he said they won’t force a quarterback pick. Berry wasn’t lying when he said multiple times that Cleveland would “use the shot clock” before finalizing its first-round decision, which ended up being the trade with Jacksonville and the selection of Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham at No. 5.

Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski have been adamant that the Browns have options beyond quarterback. But after starting the draft with defense, Cleveland needs to add help on the offensive side Friday night. Given the number of gifted players who weren’t drafted in the first round for various reasons, the Browns could also have trade options at No. 33 and shouldn’t feel like another quarterback-needy team is looming.

The New York Giants were one pick behind the Browns at No. 34, but they traded back into the first round at No. 25 and selected Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. The Browns lost two likely targets late in the first round when Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. went No. 29 to Washington and Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons went No. 32 to Kansas City.

Might Cleveland add Shedeur Sanders or Jalen Milroe Friday evening? Here are some of the names to know entering Day 2 of the draft.

Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama: The Browns know Milroe well. Special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone coached him at the Senior Bowl, and new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees coached Milroe at Alabama in 2023. Berry gushed about Milroe’s running ability, saying the quarterback might be faster than Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson. Milroe has a long way to go as a passer, but he’s viewed as a natural leader who’s dedicated to his craft.

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado: Dane Brugler, The Athletic’s NFL Draft guru, ranked Sanders as his No. 2 quarterback with a first- or second-round grade. Obviously, lots of teams viewed him as a second-rounder. Sanders is accurate but probably lacks true standout traits that most highly drafted quarterbacks have. Brugler wrote that Sanders “doesn’t have the physical traits to get away with some of his decisions, but he is a poised, rhythmic passer when he stays true to his skill set.”

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State: Henderson can do a little of everything, and he’s explosive enough to have garnered consideration from some teams at the end of the first round. He’s a smaller back at 202 pounds, but he’s a fearless blocker and reliable pass catcher.

Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri: Burden was viewed by some as a potential top-15 pick before the 2024 season. He’s Brugler’s No. 3 wide receiver in this class and could still be a top-40 selection because he’s able to create extra yards after the catch. He’s certainly intriguing.

Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota: Ersery is massive (6-foot-6, 331 pounds) and still relatively new to the game after not taking up football until his sophomore year of high school. He received a second-round grade from Brugler. The Browns have four O-line starters for 2025 in place and Dawand Jones penciled in as their left tackle, though he’s recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. But the future of the line is unclear with guards Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller and center Ethan Pocic all entering the final year of their current contracts.

Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville: Shough will be 26 in September and spent seven seasons playing college football. His only full season last fall was his best, and then he was the best thrower of the eight quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl. Does he fit Stefanski’s preferred offensive system, and therefore the Browns’ plans?

Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State: An explosive athlete who’s viewed as NFL-ready, Judkins finished his college career at Ohio State after a productive run at Ole Miss. Judkins is likely to be gone by the end of the second round, but he could fall to the Browns at No. 67.

Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa: A physical runner who seems to fit the Browns’ desire to rely on a wide-zone running attack, Johnson had a big season (1,537 yards, 21 touchdowns) at Iowa last fall. Johnson is from Southwest Ohio (Hamilton) and, at 6-foot-1, 224 pounds, has the look of an AFC North runner.

Mason Taylor, TE, LSU: He was a go-to guy in LSU’s offense for much of last season, and he has NFL bloodlines as the son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor and the nephew of Hall of Famer Zach Thomas. Some think he’s the third-best tight end in this class and a potential top-40 pick.

Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State: Noel is much smaller than his college teammate and wide receiver draft classmate, Jayden Higgins, but Noel is a smooth operator. He had 15 touchdown receptions over the last two years and can line up across the formation.

Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami: Arroyo is a big target who impressed at the Senior Bowl and got a second-round grade from Brugler, who wrote that Arroyo is an “awesome athlete” who needs “further development … to reach his ceiling.”

Mike Green, DE, Marshall: Maybe the Browns really like Green, but they need offense. Maybe some other team will like Green, and the Browns can make another trade.

Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M: Scourton is still just 20 years old, but he’s been on NFL radars since his sophomore season at Purdue and is a potential option to become the Browns’ designated pass rusher.

Jack Bech, WR, TCU: Brugler grades Bech as a second- or third-round prospect. Bech started his college career as a hybrid wide receiver/tight end at LSU before transferring to TCU for his final two seasons and posting a big 2024. He’s drawn some comparisons to Puka Nacua.

Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon: Ferguson put up good numbers last fall, but NFL teams are attracted to his rare combination of size and speed (6-foot-5, 247 pounds, 4.63 in the 40-yard dash). He’s a big target who can play in almost every personnel grouping, and Brugler ranks him as a second- or third-round pick.

Femi Oladejo, DE, UCLA: Oladejo is a former linebacker who moved to the edge for his final college season and got the NFL’s attention. He’s the kind of explosive player the Browns have valued in the past.

Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green: The Canton, Ohio, native isn’t a finished product, but he showed last year he could produce against college football’s big boys. Fannin was the centerpiece of Bowling Green’s offense and can contribute in multiple ways as he adds muscle and finds his best spot in the NFL.

Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee: The 2024 SEC rushing champion is smaller than a lot of the backs in this class, but Sampson is young (20), explosive and has a knack for finding daylight. If the Browns wait until the third round to take a running back, Sampson is a name to know.

Cameron Williams, OT, Texas: Williams is massive (6-foot-6, 334 pounds), young (21) and could end up playing any of four line spots once he gets comfortable. Brugler graded him as a fourth-rounder with a high ceiling.

Will Howard, QB, Ohio State: Much of the fan base would be back to posting Berry laser eyes memes within five seconds of this potential selection.

Wyatt Milum, OL, West Virginia: Milum is viewed as being smart and versatile enough to contribute at multiple positions. He was a college tackle who figures to play guard in the NFL but could end up contributing at either spot.

Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State: Sawyer is a native Ohioan and an Ohio State legend for his performance in the College Football Playoff. He’s athletic enough to continue to develop into a starting-quality defensive end.

Jordan James, RB, Oregon: Like Sampson, he’s a smaller back but is viewed as shifty and durable enough to become a long-term NFL contributor.

Marcus Mbow, OG, Purdue: Brugler rated Mbow as a third-round guard prospect, but he was a college right tackle who’s still refining his game.

Landon Jackson, DE, Arkansas: Another player with a notable size/speed combo, Jackson was a three-year college starter who received a second-round grade from Brugler.

Jeffrey Bassa, LB, Oregon: The Browns aren’t sure if standout linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will play again due to a neck injury. How they handle the draft at linebacker could be both telling and important.
