The Cleveland Browns are set up pretty well for the immediate future when it comes to the NFL Draft. Back in 2022, the organization made a decision that affected them for three-straight years, and that trade has finally been paid in full.
When the Browns acquired quarterback Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans back in 2022, they gave up a plethora of picks including first rounders in 2022, 2023 and 2024. But now, the deal is finally in the rear view.
No longer do Browns fans have to worry about a lack of a first-round pick. Whatever happens at the quarterback position in the near future, Cleveland now has the option to pursue a top passer in coming draft classes.
The Browns have not been shy about making significant moves involving draft capital in recent years, obviously highlighted by the Watson trade. But, they've also made a few other key moves along the way which have affected future capital.
With that in mind, where do the Browns pick in the 2025 NFL Draft? Let's break down the list of picks in not only this specific draft, but future years as well.

The Browns did not stand firm during their 2025 NFL Draft. They sent their 2nd overall pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for their 5th overall pick and a huge 2026 first rounder. While they lost out on Travis Hunter, they gained an elite defensive tackle in Mason Graham as a result of the transaction.
They also gained a second and fourth rounder from Jacksonville, but sent out their own 4th round pick and 6th round pick.
