Overview

• The Browns used the 33rd overall pick on Carson Schwesinger, a former UCLA walk-on who became a first-team All-American with 90 solo tackles in 2024.
• At No. 36, Cleveland selected Quinshon Judkins, an Ohio State standout with 3,785 career rushing yards and 45 touchdowns over three college seasons.
• Judkins is seen as a potential successor to Nick Chubb, whose injuries in recent seasons have left the Browns' backfield unsettled.
• Schwesinger bolsters a linebacker unit facing uncertainty, with Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah recovering from a season-ending neck injury.
• The No. 36 pick was part of the draft capital acquired in the Travis Hunter trade, reflecting the Browns' focus on filling critical gaps over selecting a quarterback early.
