Trevor Sikkema at PFF:<\/a><\/p>\nAt about 6-foot-1 1\/2 and around 205 pounds, he is small by NFL standards. He has good mobility, though it shows up more in escapability than true dual-threat ability. He is a natural touch passer who can layer throws between zone coverages, both in the pocket and off-platform. He also maintains sound fundamentals, which give him a repeatable throwing motion, though when he misses, his misses tend to be high.<\/p>\n
Overall, his arm talent is lacking. He can deliver pretty passes when things go right, but he can get into trouble if he is late to his reads. He also had a difficult time seeing post-snap rotations \u2014 specifically from safeties \u2014 in 2025. He is generally good under pressure, but he can have bad panic moments that are back-breakers.<\/p>\n
His lack of pace on his passes shows up in his high turnover-worthy play rate over the middle of the field, and there are times when he has to stand and pass on his toes to see over the line. That said, he has been a leader and a winner at every stop of his football career.<\/p>\n
Fit with the Browns<\/p>\n
An undersized quarterback lacking in arm talent in the \u201crough and tumble\u201d conditions of the AFC North? Where do the Browns sign up!<\/p>\n

Klubnik appears destined for a backup role in the NFL, and there is nothing wrong with that. But the Browns already have that box checked with Dillon Gabriel, and will probably realize that Shedeur Sanders also fits that space soon enough.<\/p>\n
So, unless Berry wants to rearrange the nameplates in the quarterback room, it is hard to see him using a pick on Klubnik.<\/p>\n
Browns Player Drafting Could Impact<\/p>\n
If the Browns draft a quarterback, then Dillon Gabriel is likely the odd man out. (He may be anyway.) If the Browns draft a good quarterback, then Shedeur Sanders could be taking his show somewhere else this fall.<\/p>\n

Priority: General Beringer is about to activate DEFCON 1.<\/p>\n
