It is clear that the Browns have failed in their quest to become a competitive club. While the front office has added several star players, they have not been able to succeed, and fans are starting to grow desperate.

As of today, Myles Garrett is the biggest star the club has. However, the front office knows that he can’t do it all by himself, which is why they are set to help him with another elite defensive player.

According to Adam Schefter, Cleveland is set to use their 2nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Abdul Carter. The former Penn State standout is widely regarded as the best defensive player this year, and the Browns don’t want to miss the chance of pairing him with Garrett.

As of today, strong rumors suggest that the Browns are listening to offers to trade down. Nevertheless, if no teams are interested in their 2nd overall selection, the front office views Abdul Carter as the best option available.

Scouts regard Carter as a true generational talent. The edge rusher had a phenomenal tenure with Penn State, which is why the potential duo with Myles Garrett could be the improvement the Browns need to finally become a competitive squad.
