Browns QB Room

[masterfins]

The head scratcher of the 2026 Draft for me was the Browns drafting another QB.  They have Watson, who is presumed to be the starter if healthy and they have Sanders and Gabriel that they drafted last year, so why on Earth would they waste a pick drafting another QB??

they do have 2 pro-bowl quarterbacks, why draft another QB is a question

In the 6th round, the nineth player they drafted.  That is a guy they wanted to take a closer look at in training camp and didn't think would still be available/signable as a UDFA.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me you keep drafting one until you find your QB and they haven't found him yet.

And even if you have one.  Brady was drafted when Bledsoe was the unambiguous starter.  Rodgers was drafted when Farve was the starter. 

Watson is in his final year of his contract. 

If they had used a second round pick it would be a different story, but he was the nineth guy they drafted.  They may have drafted everyone they thought was worth drafting and grabbed the top guy on the UDFA call sheet.

If you cut a 6th round pick at the end of training camp he isn't a bust.  He is just a guy who didn't work out.
