At this point this year, we know very little. We\u2019ve heard that the Tennessee Titans \u201clove\u201d QB Cam Ward but they just fired their general manager days after that rumor leaked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8cRSnm\">With the second overall pick, the Cleveland Browns must wait for what the Titans do at the top unless they make the expensive trade to get the first overall pick. The Browns also have to comb through offensive coordinator options to help settle into the transition back to HC Kevin Stefanski\u2019s system.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mn2fTM\">That means anything we hear, whether rumors or reports, at this point can be taken with a grain a salt. It is a heftier grain of salt when a report with the experience of Diana Russini says it:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dianna Russini on the Browns\u2019 draft plans on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeBatardShow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LeBatardShow<\/a>: \u201cThey\u2019re going quarterback. They see what we see. It\u2019s just not a mystery. This is not like they\u2019re psyched about Deshaun Watson\u2019s ability, leadership, play. They know this isn\u2019t great.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9r8uvSZQaS\">pic.twitter.com\/9r8uvSZQaS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BenAxelrod\/status\/1876693084882231501?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"xRsR3e\">\u201cThey\u2019re going quarterback.\u201d Either Russini is very confident of her information based on sources or, as we hear following that statement, she is connecting the dots everyone else is.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Z0Q1uZ\">With the Titans likely locked into a quarterback at the top of the draft, it only benefits the Browns to make everyone believe that they are as well. Either they take the second quarterback off the board or they drive up the price for a team that wants to trade up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"vSSW0h\">We will continue to keep you up to date with all credible reporting and rumors surrounding Cleveland\u2019s offseason. We are just a few days in and it already seems like we will have a lot to cover as we go.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HE7Sfz\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QBs Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward, along with Travis Hunter, a couple of defenders lead the NFL draft prospects<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
