The 2025 NFL Draft has concluded, marking the end of a lengthy three-day event that has kept all 32 teams busy. While some teams will see immediate impact from their newly drafted players, others may take years to determine the success of their draft classes.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made headlines by trading extensively to select Travis Hunter, whereas the Cleveland Browns took a strategic approach by stockpiling their draft resources, which allowed them to draft two quarterbacks, including Shedeur Sanders.
With the influx of quarterbacks into the Browns system, the competition looks set to be fierce. Mason Rudolph currently holds the starting position, yet Howard, a sixth-round pick, may present challenges during the preseason.
For the Browns, who will keep four quarterbacks on their roster, Sanders’ talent may prove pivotal if the coaches see fit. However, as seen historically, having multiple quarterbacks can lead to complications and questions about future projections.
In related news, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Will Howard, which leads many to speculate if he could emerge as the starter in Week 1, although this remains largely deemed an overreaction. The balance between talent and management will ultimately define each team’s success in implementing their draft strategies this season.
