The Cleveland Browns have had a quarterback problem since the NFL granted the regeneration of the franchise in 1999. The legendary Browns quarterback jerseys tell the sad story of an organization that has swung mightily and struck out spectacularly over and over at football's most important position.

When Shedeur Sanders was still on the board in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns decided to aggressively pursue him. According to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi, Browns general manager Andrew Berry "worked hard" to find a trade that would bring Sanders to Cleveland as his fall continued early on Day 3.

Fans and analysts had mixed opinions on the Cleveland Browns' 2025 NFL Draft. Despite passing on a player that many considered to be a "generational talent" in Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall, the Browns were able to fill key positional needs while acquiring additional future draft capital.
