Browns Not Drafting QB, Gabriel & Sanders Cook Longer
About this episode
Cleveland Browns fans, hold off on quarterback hopes for the 2026 draft. Despite having Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders, the team isnt planning to draft another QB. Coach Todd Monken might not be fully invested in the young guns, and Watsons performance has declined since 2024. Gabriel and Sanders struggled as rookies, and the team is facing another rebuild. Top prospects arent realistically available, so the Browns should let Gabriel and Sanders develop further before making any major moves.

On April 22nd, Cleveland Brown's fans, hoping for a new quarterback savior in the 2026 draft, might want to pump the brakes. According to ESPN's Matt Miller, the team is implanting to draft another signal caller this year. They've already got to Sean Watson, plus rookies Dylan Gabriel and Shedore Sanders from last April's draft, and that trio just ain't cutting it yet. New head coach Todd Mokin stepped in after those picks, so he might not be all in on the young guns. Watson hasn't played since October 2024, and has fallen off hard from his Houston days. Meanwhile, Gabriel and Sanders struggled as rookies, barely cracking 200 passing yards per game in their starts. The fan base is fed up with another losing season, and even star defender Miles Garrett could start losing patience if things don't turn around. Northeast Ohio is looking at yet another rebuild in 2026, with no quick fixes on the horizon. No top prospects are realistically up for grabs, no path to Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, and Alabama's tie Simpson sits at number 44 on big.
Boards, why burn another mid-round pick when you've got two young QBs still on the roster? Smart play is letting Gabriel and Sanders cook a bit longer, then the front office can re-evaluate everything next off season and plot the real reset.
