PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Their second time drafting a quarterback in 2025, the Browns end the speculation around Shedeur Sanders by picking him with the 144th overall pick.
The Colorado quarterback was projected by ESPN’s Mel Kiper as the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, but was selected after Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel by his own team. Cleveland’s quarterback room includes a pair of former Pitt quarterbacks-Kenny Pickens and Ravens Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco, Sanders, Gabriel and Deshaun Watson.
