One of the biggest storylines to follow this offseason in the NFL ranks will be the drama unfolding in Cleveland<\/a>, where the Browns<\/a> are trying to figure out their quarterback plan.<\/p>\n

With Deshaun Watson on the mend, the Browns brought in both Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco as veterans of their quarterback room. They then did the unthinkable, taking both\u00a0Oregon Ducks<\/a>\u00a0quarterback Dillon Gabriel and\u00a0Colorado Buffaloes<\/a>\u00a0quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft.<\/p>\n

Now they’ve got an offseason to figure out what to do with these options.<\/p>\n

While Sanders was considered by many to be the better quarterback prospect in the draft, the Browns took Gabriel a couple of rounds before him, which would lead you to believe that they are higher on his potential in head coach Kevin Stefanski’s offense.<\/p>\n

According to a recent report from Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot,<\/a> that might be the case.<\/p>\n

Pickett will take the first OTAs reps, with Gabriel stepping in behind him. The order beyond that is unknown now, but Gabriel will undoubtedly have a shot to prove himself early on with his NFL team. Of course, whether or not he can win the job outright this summer is yet to be seen.<\/p>\n

Even if Gabriel eventually is named the starter, the crowded QB room makes for controversy waiting to happen. At the first slip-up, fans and media members will call for Sanders to get a chance, regardless of who is the incumbent starter.<\/p>\n
