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 now have a 5th round pick courtest the Za'Darius Smith trade to the Detroit Lions ahead of the 2024 trade deadline. Smith has officially netted the Browns two late draft picks. In addition to Smith, the trade of Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills landed Cleveland a 3rd round pick, of which they now have two.
The Browns traded their own seventh rounder in 2025 to the Chargers when they acquired kicker Dustin Hopkins, which explains the lack of Cleveland's own pick there.
