On April 24, the Cleveland Brown skip drafting a quarterback this year, picking Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano, ninth overall instead. That move has folks thinking they're all in on shader sanders, starting for the 2026 season. Fano's a beast up front, with tons of college starts on both sides of the line, and zero sacks given up in hundreds of past blocking snaps last year. Then in the first round, they grabbed Texas A&M-Y receiver Kasey Concepcion at 24th overall. The guy balled out with 61 catches, 919 yards, and 9 touchdowns. Adding him beefs up the weapons without touching the QB spot, signaling confidence in their current room. Fans and analysts are hyped, saying this protects sanders like a fortress and gives him a playmaker to sling it to. NFL vet Robert Griffin III called Fano, a tight end in a tackles body, perfect for keeping rushers off shader. Even Skip Bayless chimed in, basically saying thanks for the shield. Evelyn's front office focused on offense, stacking the line and skill spots to build

around sanders. No official word on the week one starter yet, but the draft screams they're grooming him to run the show in training camp. Only time will tell, as shader grabs the reins and turns this talent into wins. But the Browns just made his path a whole lot smoother.
