It has certainly been a wild ride for Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was expected to be a first-round pick in the NFL Draft but instead fell all the way to Round 5, where the Browns traded up to land him.

The 2025 NFL Draft saw the Cleveland Browns bring in two rookie quarterbacks. They drafted former Oregon star Dillon Gabriel in the third round and backed up that pick with Colorado's Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round.

Cabot noted that the Browns also made the decision as they are “straddling two worlds between trying to win in 2025, and determining their strategy in the 2026 draft,” now that they have the Jaguars' two 2026 first round picks that could land within the top 10 depending on how their season plays out.
