Cleveland Browns Draft Carson Beck, QB Battle Intensifies

0:00On April 24, in Lance Zeerlin's latest NFL mock draft, the Cleveland Brown snag Miami quarterback Carson Beck at the 74th overall pick. He's the only QB projected to go in the second or third rounds, setting up a battle with Shadour Sanders for the starting spot in 2026. The Browns are in full QB chaos right now, with Sanders closing out 2025 as the top guy, Dylan Gabriel starting six games before A. Concussion sidelined him, and to Sean Watson nursing two torn Achilles injuries that wiped out his last year and a half. Coaches already called a competition underway at minicamp this week among those three, but Beck could shake things up as a fourth option if this mock hits. Beck balled out after transferring from Georgia to Miami in 2025, throwing for over 3,800 yards. 30. Touchdowns and hitting 72.4% of his passes, while dragging the Hurricanes to the playoff title game. Meanwhile, two QBs came off the board.

1:01Thursday, Fernando Mendoza, first to the Raiders, and Ty Simpson, 13th to the Rams, with Beck sitting at number. 120 on the big board as the draft rolls into rounds two and three tomorrow night.
