The Cleveland Browns hold the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, leading many to believe they will select a quarterback, a position where they've struggled significantly in recent seasons. However, a recent mock draft by Mike Renner of CBS Sports suggests an unexpected strategy: drafting a defensive player instead.
Renner predicts that the Browns could use this high pick to select Abdul Carter, an edge rusher from Penn State. The idea is that pairing Carter with star defensive end Myles Garrett could create a formidable defensive front. Carter's performance has been impressive; he recorded 44 pressures in his last nine games during the season, showcasing his potential as a game-changer.
While bolstering the defense might be appealing, the notion of forgoing a quarterback, particularly Shedeur Sanders, in favor of a defensive player raises eyebrows. However, with the Browns' history of unpredictable decisions, there's always a chance they could surprise fans this draft season.
