The 2025 Cleveland Browns’ DBN Big Board got off to a great start! It turns out, fans are enthused about having a first-round pick again, as 497 people cast a vote. That is more than double the amount of votes we had in the first poll last year. The 1-5 slots for the [Browns](https://www.dawgsbynature.com/)’ DBN Big Board are as follows:
1\. EDGE **Abdul Carter** - 1947 total points
2\. QB **Cam Ward** - 1723 total points
3\. WR/CB **Travis Hunter** - 1330 total points
4\. DT **Mason Graham** - 507 total points
5\. QB **Shedeur Sanders** - 488 total points
The Browns still need to find themselves a quarterback, and two candidates — **Cam Ward** and **Shedeur Sanders** — are in the Top 5. The most likely scenario sees the Tennessee Titans selecting Ward with the first overall pick of the draft, so that would allow **Abdul Carter** — the star edge rusher — to be picked by the Browns. He is the player who the majority of fans prefer at No. 2 overall, but the versatile wide receiver and cornerback — **Travis Hunter** — is viewed as a worthy candidate as well.
The breakdown of the votes are below. Interestingly enough, and this might be a first in DBN history, Ward actually had the most first-place votes by a wide margin, yet did not finish atop the rankings, as he received (by comparison) very few second- and third-place votes.
