Browns rise in updated 2025 NFL draft positioning after bye week

Where do the Browns stand in draft positioning after their bye week?

Despite being on a bye week, the Cleveland Browns still managed to find a way to climb up the 2025 NFL draft order.

The New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Carolina Panthers all earned their third wins of the season, moving the Browns up the board a bit. As it stands entering Week 11, the Browns now sit with the fourth overall pick in the draft. The results of Monday Night Football will not impact their draft slot.

Unfortunately for the Browns, the New York Giants (another quarterback-needy team) sits ahead of them. In a weak quarterback class that comes down to almost exclusively Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, the Giants now hold priority on selecting him.

It’s a good thing, for the first time in three years, that the Browns have their first round pick back in their possession. With needs at quarterback, wide receiver, potentially cornerback, and offensive tackle, they are going to need it.
