The 2025 NFL draft has come and gone, seeing the Cleveland Browns<\/a> adding a flurry of young players to their roster.<\/p>\n

The draft grades are abundant<\/a> after the main event comes to a close, but ESPN’s Matt Miller took a different approach to grading out the draft. Instead of true grades, he ranked his top-100 picks in the draft<\/a>. And the Browns, who made seven selections, had quite a strong representation on his list. So, who made the cut and where did they land on Miller’s list?<\/p>\n

Here are the five of seven Browns draft picks that were given love from Miller and what he had to say about each choice. For further intrigue, none of the five picks mentioned were ranked lower than No. 53 in his top-100 picks of the 2025 NFL draft:<\/p>\n

QB Shedeur Sanders: Ranked as the 10th-best pick<\/p>\n

“Regardless of why Sanders\u00a0fell in the draft, getting a prospect universally ranked in the top 32 at pick No. 144 represents terrific value for the Browns. I graded Sanders as a starter-level quarterback, someone realistically on par with\u00a0Geno Smith\u00a0coming out of college. If Sanders’ career matches Smith’s, the former Colorado QB will be one of the biggest steals of the past 10 drafts.”<\/p>\n

DT Mason Graham: Ranked as the 23rd-best pick<\/p>\n

“Even without considering the\u00a0trade, I love the idea of Graham playing next to\u00a0Myles Garrett\u00a0on the Browns’ defensive line. Graham doesn’t lose reps and will draw attention away from Garrett on the edge. The defensive line could quickly become a strength for a team that’s lacking advantages. Add in the 2026 first-round pick the Browns got by trading down, and this was a quality move.”<\/p>\n

RB Quinshon Judkins: Ranked as the 41st-best pick<\/p>\n

“I had Judkins as my No. 3-ranked back with an early-Round 2 grade, which is where the Browns picked him. I love how Judkins fits into Kevin Stefanski’s offense as a\u00a0Nick Chubb\u00a0replacement thanks to his inside rushing ability and underrated runaway speed. Judkins will be given every opportunity to be Cleveland’s RB1.”<\/p>\n

RB Dylan Sampson: Ranked as the 44th-best pick<\/p>\n

“The Browns had several value picks in this draft and Sampson was one of the best, with a 62-point swing in terms of grade vs. draft position. His dynamic slashing style forms an ideal thunder-and-lightning pairing with fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins.”<\/p>\n

LB Carson Schwesinger: Ranked as the 53rd-best pick<\/p>\n

“Schwesinger was the only true off-ball linebacker with a starter grade on my board. With\u00a0Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s status unknown after his\u00a02024 neck injury, Schwesinger could be a Week 1 starter at either the Will or Mike linebacker spots.”<\/p>\n
