Browns Draft Fannin, Add Diontae Johnson, Eye QB Change

The Cleveland Browns selected Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin Jr., a Canton native and consensus All-American, with the 67th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after his record-setting college season. Fannin is viewed as a potential successor to current starting tight end David Njoku, who is in the final year of his contract. Analysts note Fannin's strong hands and explosiveness but flag concerns about his route diversity and blocking. The Browns also signed veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson to a one-year deal, adding experience to their receiving corps. Additionally, Cleveland placed a free-agent tender on Elijah Moore, making it more difficult for teams like the Bills to sign him. These roster moves come as the Browns prepare for quarterback uncertainty with Deshaun Watson sidelined and a competition expected among several candidates.
