Where the Browns sit in a murky 2025 NFL draft picture

The Browns are back in the top five of draft positioning after a loss to the Chargers.

After a win over the Baltimore Ravens one week ago, the Cleveland Browns fell six slots in the 2025 NFL draft order.

However, after a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, where do they stand among a murky picture at the bottom of the barrel? Looking to acquire more draft picks at the NFL trade deadline, those assets might just come in handy.

Sitting at 2-7 on the season, the Browns are one of nine teams with just two wins on the year. This complicates the picture with eight games to go.

Surely more clarity will be provided over the coming weeks, but for now, the Browns are back in the top five of the 2025 NFL draft. They would hold pick No. 5 if the draft were today, but only due to Strength of Schedule tiebreakers. Each team picking in the top five holds a record of 2-7, so the margin between them is razor-thin.

With team needs at quarterback, wide receiver, and along their offensive line, the higher pick the better at this point.
