Overview
- NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reported the Browns are more likely to use picks No. 6 and No. 24 on a wide receiver or a left tackle instead of selecting a quarterback early.
- Head coach Todd Monken has kept the job open between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, saying he hopes to identify a starter by training camp based on offseason evaluations.
- Mike Garafolo said Watson is in pole position for Week 1, pointing to the team’s fully guaranteed commitment and his prior success as reasons he could get the first shot.
- Mary Kay Cabot reported positive feedback on Watson’s throwing sessions in South Florida with private coach Quincy Avery, and Monken is eager to work with him.
- Sanders threw for about 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a rookie and has worked with coach Darryl Colbert on firmer footwork, while Dillon Gabriel remains depth but is not expected to shape the decision.
