Mel Kiper vs. Ty Simpson: Browns QB Battle

0:00On March 27, Cleveland Browns fans are buzzing about the quarterback spot after new head coach Todd Munkin announced an open competition. Mel Kuiper Jr., the longtime draft guru, got fired up when talk turned to drafting Alabama's tie Simpson to challenge current starter, Shedur. Sanders. On a recent first draft podcast, analyst Field Yates floated Simpson as a fit for Cleveland, but Kuiper pushed back hard, making it clear he wants no. Part of that idea for the Browns. This isn't Kuiper's first strong take on Sanders. Back in the 2025 NFL draft, he was livid when the Browns passed on the Colorado quarterback at pick number 20, calling the whole. Processed disgusting as Sanders slipped into day two. Sanders struggled in his rookie year, going three wins and four losses as a starter. He completed just 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards, with seven touchdowns and a rough 10 interceptions. As training camp nears, all eyes are on whether the Browns bring in more competition like Simpson, and if Kuiper's faith and Sanders holds up against, any challengers.
