The Cleveland Browns are in desperate need of a new quarterback, and with the No. 2 pick in the draft, they have every chance to select a new signal caller. Recently, Deshaun Watson re-tore his Achilles, putting him at risk of missing the 2025 season despite carrying a massive $72.9 million cap hit over each of the next two years.
According to Jake Trotter of ESPN Cleveland, the Browns’ most likely draft prospect is Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Trotter believes that Sanders is a better fit for the team than Alabama’s Jalen Milroe or Miami’s Cam Ward, who could be the No. 1 overall pick.
Trotter said the Browns are better off taking the better prospect as opposed to taking the player who is the better fit, and Sanders could be both of those things compared to Milroe. Sanders and Ward are widely regarded as the two best quarterbacks in this draft, and many have pegged both as the eventual top two picks in April.
Either way, Cleveland cannot go into this season with Watson as the primary option at quarterback due to his blown Achilles, and the draft is a perfect opportunity for this franchise to turn the page.
