Show Notes
ESPN insider Adam Schefter hints that the Cleveland Browns are favoring Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback next season, rather than drafting a new signal caller with their top picks. The Browns hold the sixth and twenty-fourth spots in the 2026 NFL draft, but Schefter doubts theyll choose a quarterback that early. Mock drafts project the Browns to pick Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate at number six and Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu at number twenty-four. Watson, a three-time Pro Bowler, hasnt played since October 2024 due to an Achilles injury, but his roster spot is secure. Coach Todd Monken revealed that reps with the first-team offense wont be evenly split among Watson, Sanders, and Gabriel, leaving room for competition and potential draft picks to influence the decision. This suggests Watson could get another chance to regain the starting position, keeping the quarterback situation intriguing as spring practices commence.
