2025 NFL Draft buzz: Browns, Giants taking calls on top picks
The 2025 NFL Draft is just hours away. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will officially open the draft at 8 p.m. ET and the Tennessee Titans will be on the clock with the No. 1 overall pick shortly after that.
Before the festivities get going, though, more news and rumors about what might happen in Round 1 and throughout the weekend continue to trickle out. Here are the latest news and rumors ahead of the draft.
The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are still fielding calls for the No. 2 and 3 picks, respectively, in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Cleveland has been willing to engage and listen to those calls, which have been "legitimate," Schultz added.
Two-way Colorado star Travis Hunter has been viewed as the Browns' likely pick at No. 2 for multiple weeks. However, the Browns are without a viable long-term option at quarterback and it's been speculated that they could draft one with one of their first couple of picks. A trade down from No. 2 could make it more reasonable for Cleveland to pick a quarterback in the first round as Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart, who've been commonly viewed as the top quarterback prospects outside of likely No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, have been slipping in mock drafts.
The Giants sit in a similar boat as the Browns. Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter has been projected to be the player they pick at No. 3 for quite a bit, but they're also in need of a quarterback. The Giants could still pick Sanders at No. 3, though, Schultz reported in his weekly notes column on Wednesday.
The New Orleans Saints might be one of the teams picking in the top 10 who might move out of their pick, as they're making calls to slightly slide back from their first-round
