Sat Apr 26 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Browns Bolster Linebacker Corps with 2025 Draft Pick Schwesinger
**CLEVELAND, OH** – The Cleveland Browns have added to their linebacker depth, selecting Carson Schwesinger from UCLA with the 33rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Schwesinger, a three-year starter for the Bruins, impressed scouts with his speed and production, totaling 163 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, two interceptions, and three passes defensed in 38 career games.
The Browns’ linebacker room is already crowded with veterans like Jerome Baker and Jordan Hicks, but Schwesinger’s addition provides valuable depth, especially considering Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s recovery from a neck injury. He joins a group that includes Devin Bush, Mohamoud Diabate, Marcus Haynes, Winston Reid, and Nathaniel Watson.
The selection of Schwesinger comes after a busy draft day for the Browns, which included trading for the fifth overall pick (details not included in this summary). The team also holds multiple picks in rounds two and three. The Browns’ front office expressed confidence in Schwesinger’s ability to contribute immediately to their defense. Further details on other draft picks are available elsewhere.
