This might be the weirdest draft cycle in a while for the Cleveland Browns. They’re one of several high-pick teams in desperate need of a starting quarterback, and they’re looking down the barrel of a quarterback class that basically has one sure-thing starter in it.
That player, Cam Ward, is also slated to go just one pick ahead of the Browns’ No. 2 selection, straight to The Volunteer State. The Titans are just as hungry for a franchise QB to grace their locker room once again, and Ward seems like their best chance in a while to achieve that. Good for them.
Cleveland now has to figure out what to do at quarterback in the draft – if anything at all. They can also go for a player like Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall instead, and take a quarterback to develop later in the draft. Yes, that’s Jalen Milroe’s music you’re hearing.
Or, they can pick Shedeur Sanders at that spot and build around the signal caller with a few flaws to work out but a solid floor to reach.
Given the latest news about the Titans’ courting efforts around Ward, it could feel like Cleveland is just further between a rock and a hard place in their quarterback search. But, you could definitely argue that this is a great thing for them. Clarity is being provided to the Browns’ front office about their options with their top pick.
