Browns Consider Skipping QB Draft, Focusing on Sanders

0:00On April 18th, the Cleveland Browns hold the number six pick, plus the 24th and 37th in the first two rounds of the 20. 26 in FL draft. ESPN analyst Ben Solak is pushing them to skip drafting a quarterback this year and hold off until 2027 instead. That move would keep the current quarterback room intact heading into next season. Shadour Sanders would emerge as the top guy to claim the starting spot with the Sean Watson and Dylan Gabriel sitting further back as long shots. Fans and insiders see this as a smart play because the Browns have sunk big money into Watson and draft picks on Gabriel, but Sanders flashed real. Potential last season out of Colorado, outshining both lately. The strategy lets them test Sanders as a full-time starter in 2026, gathering real data before targeting their franchise guy in the 2027 draft, whether that's a rookie or sticking with him. Either way, Sanders' path stays wide open for now, giving the Browns flexibility to build around what they learn without rushing a pick they might.
