I'm sure the Browns are working around the clock to figure out how to fk up their pick at #3.

Already gave my input on their trade, and always liked Quinshon Judkins, but I don't know why you take both Dillon Gabriel and Shadeur Sanders, even if they were third and fifth rounders. Those are moves you'd make in Franchise Mode on the old Madden games so you could later make more unrealistic trades because the QB values were so skewed. Depth chart at QB is now: Deshaun Watson (likely IR for the season), Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shadeur Sanders. Talk about potential for any of the last three to lose the locker room's trust at any point.

Then in a move that only a team like the Browns or Raiders would make, they added Diontae Johnson, who played for three different teams last season and is obviously the type of calming veteran influence that you want in a young locker room.


If the angle was to amass picks and tank 2025 in hopes of landing Arch Manning or the #1 QB in the class of 2026, then it seems like it'd make more sense to try and build an offensive line, take defenders, or even take specialists and gadget players-- basically anything but investing in two more QBs.

It's easy to rag on the Browns, as a lifelong fan I've done it as much as anyone. But they've made the playoffs twice recently and Stefanski is a 2X COY. Yes they made the worst trade in sports history but I blame that on ownership. I like Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry very much.

Having said all that I think this draft was a home run and could wind up being a grand slam for the Browns. 2 great players on defense - Graham probably the safest pick in the draft and Shweshinger is an all-world tackling machine. Both Alpha dogs. Judkins is a monster and 2nd RB taken was Dylan Sampson the freaking SEC Offensive POY and set TD record at Tennessee that had stood since 1929! Gabriel is first team All-American and threw for a million yards in his career and 30 TDs vs only 6 INT last year. Sanders was a top 10 pick until he and his handlers acted stupid. But all reports say he is already working hard in Cleveland and already doing charity work in the community and has a great attitude. TE Fannin Jr is all-world and set records in college. PLUS an extra 1st round pick next year! Don't mind the Johnson signing at all, every team has second chancers and his upside is big. If his attitude is bad I'm sure he is on a short leash. 

Bottom line great draft, tons of value and upside. And believe me I haven't bragged on a Browns draft in many years.
