Browns' GM Berry: Drafting QB in 2026, Eyeing 2027 Class
About this episode
The Cleveland Browns continue their search for a franchise quarterback, with GM Andrew Berry considering drafting another rookie in 2026. However, hes focusing on the 2027 class, which is expected to be loaded with talent. The 2026 group, including Fernando Mendoza, may need more time to develop and may not be superstar material. Berry is aware that projections can change, but hes not willing to ignore a deep class. Fans are growing impatient, as the team is still waiting for a real answer at the position. The new head coach is not rushing to burn high picks on unproven arms that may not start right away. The Browns could draft late-round projects like Drew Allar or Carson Beck, but beating out the vets seems unlikely. A smarter move might be trading for more first or second-round picks to stockpile for the 2027 class. Berry is playing the long game, building around Sanders if he pans out or pivoting smart if not, to keep the Browns in the hunt without wasting assets.

On April 21st, Cleveland Brown's still hunting that franchise quarterback, and has been a rough ride. General manager Andrew Berry just said they're open to drafting another rookie to shake up the competition, but he's playing the long game with eyes. On the 2027 draft class, which looks loaded with talent, the 2026 group, not so hot. Top guys like Fernando Mendoza might need time to develop and don't scream superstar. Berry knows projections a year out can shift, but ignoring a deep class would be a mistake for a team that's spinning its wheels at the position. Fans are tired of the jokes from rivals, waiting longer for a real answer while the Sean Watson and Shader Sanders battle it out. New head coach or not, no one's rushing to burn high picks on unproven arms that probably won't start right away. They could grab late-round projects like Drew Aller or Carson Beck, but beating out the vet seems unlikely. Smarter move might be trading for more first or second-round picks to stockpile for 2027's Feast of Options.
Berry's thinking chess moves ahead, building around Sanders if he pans out, or pivoting smart if not, keeping the browns in the hunt without wasting, assets.
