Dillon Gabriel stocks response to Browns drafting Shedeur Sanders

It used to be now not precisely a secret that the Cleveland Browns have been going to have to deal with their quarterback scenario within the 2025 NFL Draft. It could also be now not an enormous marvel that they ended up with Shedeur Sanders. 

The marvel used to be the best way all of that used to be treated.

Instead of taking Sanders within the first or 2nd around (as may were anticipated), they took him when he slid all the way down to the 5th around, and when they had decided on a special quarterback — Dillon Gabriel — within the 1/3 around. 

It used to be unconventional to take two quarterbacks within the center rounds, and creates relatively a log-jam on a roster that already had Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Deshaun Watson.

It used to be additionally slightly complicated, and it might be simple to conclude that Gabriel, as a third-round select, may were essentially the most puzzled out of any one. 

Gabriel mentioned his response on Saturday throughout the Browns’ rookie camp, and it will not be what you are expecting. 

He beloved it.

“Yeah, I love it. You know, I love it because of who it is. I think just for us both, you can learn from one another. But also, it’s not just us two in the room. At least for right now [during rookie minicamp] is, but, you know, going into the year, Kenny [Pickett], Joe [Flacco] and even Deshaun [Watson], just a bunch of guys who played a bunch of ball that we can all learn from one another.”

It could also be price stating that what he says to the media and what he in reality believes deep down may well be two very various things, however he indubitably is announcing all the proper issues. When you’re a third-round select at quarterback, particularly on a group that has now not discovered a constant starter in a long time, you might be almost definitely getting in with the expectancy of ultimately being a starter. Or a minimum of having an opportunity to compete for it.

In this situation now not handiest did the group take any person else simply two rounds later, they took probably the most polarizing and distinguished quarterbacks within the elegance this is going to command many of the consideration. 

There continues to be very obviously going to be an open festival a number of the veterans and newbies, and from a sensible perspective Gabriel must be beginning upper at the intensity chart than Sanders. He used to be, in spite of everything, the upper select. Cleveland already advised everyone they believe he’s a greater quarterback, simply in accordance with draft order. That does now not imply it is going to essentially play out that method at the box.
