Could the Cleveland Browns turn to Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL draft? They do in a new mock draft.
Written over at Daft on Draft, they had the Browns using the No. 2 overall pick on a new quarterback as they navigate the mess left behind by the Deshaun Watson trade. Here is what Daft on Draft had to say about the selection of Sanders in their latest mock draft:
“Going back to a wide zone offense, what better quarterback to turn to than one who was coached by the offensive coordinator in Minnesota when Kevin Stefanski was the quarterbacks coach of the Vikings? Shedeur Sanders in the most accurate quarterback in the class and shows the wits to find backside progressions from within structure. Oh yeah, and Deion Sanders raves about Browns quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave.”
Of course, the Browns have to be sold on one of these quarterbacks at the top of the draft to take them. They should not force a quarterback just to fit a need if there is not one in this class they do not believe in. The Ringer’s Todd McShay (formerly of ESPN) has even stated he has heard the Browns won’t take a quarterback this year.
However, if the Browns love the swagger of Sanders and his fit within their offense as they return to a wide zone scheme, then they could very easily pull the trigger on the most accurate quarterback in the class.
With the NFL combine next week, we are inching closer to the real deal at the end of April.
