Andrew Berry Reveals Why Browns Traded No. 2 Pick In Draft
The 2025 NFL Draft started with every team in the league having their own first-round pick, something that hadn’t happened in quite some time.
There were rumors of the Browns being involved in a blockbuster trade, but nothing was finalized heading into the draft.
As we now know, things changed quickly, as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns orchestrated a massive deal.

This deal saw the Browns moving back a few spots in the first round, gaining four total picks in this trade that has caused a ripple effect.
Some fans have questioned this deal, wondering why the team would pass up the opportunity to select Travis Hunter, one of the most exciting prospects in many years.
GM Andrew Berry explained his thoughts in a press conference, hoping to peel back the curtain as to why he made this decision.
“We just felt like it was a fantastic opportunity for our organization. Adding a first round pick next year in a class that quite frankly, we think will be a lot stronger in the first 30 picks,” Berry said.
