Browns' QB Drama: Simpson or Wait?

0:00On April 2nd, the Cleveland Browns are facing quarterback drama again after a rough 5-12 season in 2025, landing them the Number 6, Draft Pick. Guys like Joe Flacco, Dylan Gabriel and Shedder Sanders couldn't lock down the starting spot, leaving the team searching once more. Right now, they've got Sanders, Gabriel, and Deshan Watson on the roster, with Sanders looking like the early favorite to start. Most draft projections see the Browns grabbing an offensive tackle, and wide receiver, with their two first round picks instead of another. Signal caller. Insider Mary Kay Cavett thinks they should eye Alabama's tie Simpson, a realistic option, since the top prospect, Fernando Mendoza, is probably out of. Reach. Simpson's got that mix of strong arm, speed, and smarts, from tossing for over 3,500 yards, and 28 touchdowns last year. But Cavett admits it's unlikely they'll pull the trigger early, as the offensive line and receivers need fixing to help any quarterback grow.

1:01Other teams like the Jets, Steelers, and Cardinals are circling Simpson too. If he slides past the first round though, Cleveland could snack him later, just like they did with Sanders, boosting their shot at stability without, ignoring those bigger holes up front.
