In many ways, they&#8217;ve become a running joke across the league in that respect, which raises the question, will Cleveland use their second-overall pick on a signal caller in 2025?<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dpfq6noml\">The AFC North team has plenty of needs on both sides of the ball, not to mention the looming issues with Myles Garrett, who has requested a trade away from Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_33qgqsl7r\">NFL Draft expert Todd McShay believes the Browns aren&#8217;t completely set on taking a quarterback with their number two pick, despite incoming rookies Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders sitting near the top of many draft boards.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;I&#39;ve heard from multiple sources&#8230; they&#39;re not pulling the trigger on a QB here at no. 2,&quot; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McShay13?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@McShay13<\/a> on the Browns plans in his first mock draft \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts?
