The Browns made their first selection on the offensive side of the ball with running back Quinshon Judkins out of Ohio State. The selection at 36 overall is big swing on the position and shows how much they preferred Judkins to his teammate TreVeyon Henderson who went just two selections later to New England.

Judkins is a freak athlete who plays with immense power and speed in both the long form and short area.

Judkins started his career at Ole Miss where he thrived right away with 1,567 yards and 16 touchdowns in his freshman season and followed it up with 1,158 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2023. He then transferred to Ohio State where he split carries with Henderson but still produced 1,060 yards and another 14 touchdowns.
