The Cleveland Browns have several directions they can go in April’s NFL Draft.
Of course, the No. 1 priority could be quarterback after news broke that Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles again, putting his 2025 season in jeopardy.
Holding the No. 2 overall pick this April, the Browns could find a quarterback in either Miami’s Cam Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. The Titans will pick No. 1 and are also expected to pick a signal caller.
But the Browns’ plan could be in trouble, as Shannon Sharpe, a good friend of Sanders’ father and coach, Deion “Coach Prime Sanders,” says he doesn’t think Shedeur will play in Cleveland.
Speaking on ‘The Nightcap’ podcast, Sharpe said, “I don’t think Prime wants Shedeur to go there. I do not.”
This is all a moot point if the Titans select Shedeur, but rumors are also floating that Coach Prime doesn’t want his kid in Tennessee too. We could have a bona fide repeat of the John Elway or Eli Manning draft sagas, and that’s not good for the league.
There are also rumors that Cleveland will go with a non-quarterback at No. 2, making all of this moot. If that’s the case, the team would most likely find a quarterback for 2025 on the free agent market and find someone with some experience.
