It’s time to kick off the first round of voting for the 2025 Cleveland Browns’ DBN Big Board! The last few years of these big boards have been a grind for fans, because it’s been a chore to rank the Top 30 or so players when you know there is no chance the team would’ve ended up with them (due to not having a first-round pick). That changes this year, as Cleveland currently holds the second overall pick of the draft.
Remember that you are supposed to weigh a combination of talent, need, character, positional value, etc. for each player you vote for in relation to how they would fit with the Browns.
### Compiling the Big Board: 1-5 Slots
Treat this like a realistic scenario if you were in the Browns draft room, looking at your big board that aligns with the Browns. **You should vote as if the Browns have the No. 1 overall pick of the draft, even though they pick No. 2 overall.** Essentially, you are playing devil’s advocate.
The list of 25 players in the poll is taken from The Ringer’s NFL Draft big board. **If there are any players you wanted to vote for but who were missing from the list**, please let us know in the comments section so we can include them in the next round. Voting for the first round will be open for a day, followed by more rounds of voting until we can compile our Top 50 players.
Please vote only once.
