As the 2024 regular season comes to a close, the Cleveland Browns will enter the draft with their first first-round pick since 2021.
The draft order has been decided, and crucial events such as the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine are approaching in early 2024, fueling conjecture regarding the Browns’ strategy.
Tony Grossi, a veteran insider, has spoken out about their key No. 2 overall choice.
During a recent appearance on ESPN Cleveland, Grossi advocated against drafting Shedeur Sanders in second.
Despite Sanders’ apparent talent and possible fit in Kevin Stefanski’s system, Grossi believes there is more value in pursuing trade opportunities.
With quarterback-hungry teams like the New York Giants holding the third pick and the Las Vegas Raiders picking sixth, the Browns’ position might be extremely significant.
“I think taking Shedeur Sanders at No. 2 would be my least preferable. I mean, you could argue it, he’s a good quarterback. They need a quarterback. He would seem to fit Kevin Stefanski’s system. But right now, believe it or not, I think you could better maximize that spot by maybe moving down and getting a quality player, you know, in the top six.” Grossi said.
Grossi argues that moving down could help the Browns get extra assets.
The insider’s analysis includes an unusual strategic consideration: if the Browns pass on a quarterback with their first pick, the second pick becomes even more important for securing their future signal-caller.
Aside from Sanders, the 2025 draft class includes numerous intriguing quarterback prospects, including Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe.
As the draft approaches, all eyes will be on Cleveland’s front staff to see how they handle this pivotal time in the franchise.
