It’s time to kick off the 2025 DBN Community NFL Mock Draft! We are releasing four picks at a time in one post to give you more substance to digest how the draft is unfolding. Here you can see all of our NFL mock draft coverage for the Cleveland Browns.

Now, let’s see what the 25-28 picks are.

No. 25 – Texans – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

The selection and write-up were made by Chris Pokorny:

With the top two offensive tackles in the Top 10 picks, we’ve had a bit of a run without offensive tackles going off the board. That should please the Texans, who need to provide more time for C.J. Stroud if they want him to grow as a quarterback. It just so happens that this pick pairs him with an Ohio State alum. The only downside is that he is coming off of a non-contact patella injury in his left knee in October, which required surgery, but hopefully he is all clear from that.

No. 26 – Rams – Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

The selection and write-up were made by Jared Mueller:

Los Angeles has been aggressive in filling their needs on the defensive side of the ball while Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Kyren Williams and HC Sean McVay run the offense. A long-term QB could be in play here but Campbell is the best linebacker in the draft and comes in to help the Rams immediately behind a young, stout front. Recovering from a torn labrum, Campbell is on track to start training camp with his new team.

No. 27 – Ravens – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

The selection and write-up were made by Jared Mueller:

The NFL Combine breakout star has the ability to play either safety spot and will partner with Kyle Hamilton to create a dynamic duo that can play all over the field. Emmanwori has the physical traits that Baltimore is known for turning into an elite playmaker with size, strength and speed. The right coaching could, as his NFL Network profile states, lead him to being “a Pro Bowl-caliber player” during his rookie contract.

No. 28 – Lions – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall

The selection and write-up were made by Mudville:

The Lions are a solid team on both sides of the ball. However, they need improvement along the interior offensive line and with getting after the quarterback. Losing Hutchinson to injury really exposed the lack of an additional pass rusher and depth at the DE position and Edge has the better value than an IOL at this point in the draft. Green led the FBS in sacks last year with 17, added an additional 23 tackles for a loss and forced three fumbles last year. He has an impressive quick first step and gets into the backfield with ease and plays larger than his size. He will give the Lions a pass rush threat opposite of Hutchinson from the get-go.

Up next will be the 29-32 picks in the 2025 DBN Community Mock Draft.
