Andrew Berry and the\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0are in a crucial situation heading into the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0draft. They need a long-term potential franchise\u00a0quarterback\u00a0in a bad way.<\/p>\n
Currently, the Browns have\u00a0Joe Flacco\u00a0penciled in as their starter with Kenny Pickett as his primary backup.\u00a0Deshaun Watson\u00a0is still on the roster, but there is a good chance that he won’t see the field again with the team.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the 2025 draft, there has been a lot of buzz about Cleveland potentially selecting\u00a0Shedeur Sanders\u00a0with the No. 2 overall pick. While the connections and buzz have been there, the Browns do not seem to be leaning that way right now.<\/p>\n
Many believe that Cleveland will wait until its second-round pick at No. 33 overall to address the quarterback position.<\/p>\n
A new prediction has been revealed that would have the Browns selecting a very intriguing quarterback at pick No. 33.<\/p>\n
John Breech of CBS Sports\u00a0has predicted that Louisville signal caller Tyler Shough will be Cleveland’s pick in the second round.<\/p>\n
“With seven years spent at the college level, Shough was basically the Van Wilder of\u00a0college football, so there’s certainly some risk involved for any team that drafts him,” Breech wrote. “However, spending some extra time in college can be a good thing and we learned that last year with\u00a0Bo Nix\u00a0thriving in Denver after spending five years at the collegiate level. Although I have the Browns taking Shough at 33rd overall, it wouldn’t be surprising if they traded up to the bottom of the first round to make this pick since all first-round rookie contracts come with a fifth-year option.”<\/p>\n

Standing in at 6-foot-5 and nearly 220 pounds, the Chandler, Arizona native Shough has had a long college football career. He started off playing two years at Oregon before transferring for three years at Texas Tech. He completed his final college season at Louisville last year, throwing for 3,195 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions, while recording a 62.7% completion rate.<\/p>\n
Throughout the pre-draft process, Shough has been raising his draft stock. CBS Sports has also\u00a0compared him\u00a0to former NFL quarterback Nick Foles.<\/p>\n
Fans won’t have to wait too much longer to find out what the Browns do at quarterback. The first round will begin on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
