On April 6th, Cleveland Brown's fans are buzzing about the quarterback depth chart, pitting rookie Shadour Sanders against veteran Dishon Watson. Behold up, the roster is still wide open, especially with the 2026 draft on the horizon that could shake everything up. ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell laid out a smart play, the Browns trade back into the first round at Pick 32 to grab Alabama's tie Simpson. It's low risk since they could still hunt another quarterback in 2027 if he doesn't pay an out right away. Scouts have mixed takes on Simpson, but a weak quarterback class overall is pushing his stock higher. Some even say take him as early as number six. For Sanders, who fell to the fifth round despite big hype, adding another arm might crowd his shot at the starting gig. Meanwhile, inside the building, vibes are shifting toward a Watson comeback. Owner Jimmy Haslam called it a fresh start under new coach Todd Munkin, noting Watson's in the best shape of his career at his lowest weight in years.

Watson's played just 19 of 68 games since that massive $230 million deal, posting a 9 and 10 record with shaky stats. With 46 million still due in 2026, Cleveland's keeping all doors open as they hunt for that long-term answer at the helm.
