Browns Predicted to 'Regret' Hunter Trade As Draft Report Card Is In

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry made a tremendous mistake in the first round by trading out of the second pick of the draft.

Notwithstanding the blunder, it was a fairly productive draft for the Browns.

In our eyes …

The Browns should have kept the second pick and drafted the most electrifying player in the draft. Instead, Berry traded the rights away and blew his one opportunity to shine on the highest level.

Wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter from Colorado would have made the Dawg Pound his domain. The fans were clamoring for him and he would have brought energy to this team than it has seen in a long time.

Berry took that away. From them. And from himself.

This will be a move Berry will soon come to regret.

This is no knock on Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham, who the Browns took at No. 5. He will pair nicely with Myles Garrett, but he might have been drafted too early.

Hunter, the former Heisman Trophy winner take his talents to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars gave up their No. 5 pick, a second-round pick (No. 36) and a fourth-round pick (No. 126) in this year’s draft, as well as their 2026 first-round pick. In return they acquired the Browns’ No. 2 pick, a fourth-round pick (No. 104) and a sixth-round pick (No. 200).

One could see the energy at the Jaguars introductory press conference. The swag was there and so was the confidence. Hunter will play on both sides and be a difference-maker.

After that …

The Carson Schwesinger pick was, in our estimation, also a reach. He was not worth the No. 33 pick in the draft. He is a serviceable player, but they could have gotten him later in the draft.

The Browns were able to get a quality running back in Quinshon Judkins from Ohio State with the No. 36 pick overall.

They just did not get good value in the first two rounds of the draft where you have to get immediate starters. Aside from Judkins, the top two rounds produced very little.

We like the pick of tight end Harold Fannin, Jr. from Bowling Green. He was one of the best tight ends in the draft. Fannin was well worth a third-round choice. He will learn from David Njoku and we bet will develop into a good professional.

The great quarterback debate will rage on as to why the Browns felt compelled to draft Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel in the third round and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado in the fifth round.

With two healthy veteran quarterbacks already on the roster, the Browns did not need to spend a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick on quarterbacks.

They should have settled on one and developed him. There will not be enough footballs in training camp to get either one enough repetitions to learn the offense.

If Cleveland came into this draft looking to select their quarterback of the future? yeah, they blew it. … as we think they should have spent the Gabriel pick on Jalen Milroe from Alabama, who has more of a skill set, and called it a day.
