Browns GM Andrew Berry has high praise for Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe.
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has garnered high, public praise from Browns General Manager Andrew Berry. Berry made mention of Milroe’s speed in the same light as 2024 MVP runner-up, Lamar Jackson.
Currently, the Browns have a patchwork set-up at quarterback with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett heading into the 2025 NFL Draft. As murmurings of Shedeur Sanders sliding down the board have emerged, it is only natural for there to be balance at the other end of the rookie quarterback spectrum.
Jalen Milroe is gaining momentum to where his draft stock lies anywhere from early round 2 into the 1st round. Beyond desired talent scouts and GM’s see in Milroe is the calculated decision on whether or not to lock Milroe into being a 1st round selection. A 1st round selection ensures team flexibility in having contractual control with the 5th-year option.
Drama will unfold on draft night as Jalen Milroe has accepted an invitation to attend the event live in Green Bay. Popcorn will be on the menu as NFL fans watch to see whether or not Milroe falls out of round one. In the meantime, steam is forming for Jalen Milroe to get his number called on day 1 of the draft.

University of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders' draft ...
University of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will hold...
ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said on Wednesday that he thinks ...
Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft has New Orleans taking Shedeur at 9th overall.
After news surfaced last week about the Saints’ current QB Derek Carr still struggling with complications from a shoulder injury sustained late last season. The question has been asked will New Orleans be addressing Quarter Back in this draft?
The question is has Sanders stock fallen enough for him to be there? With Cleveland having strong tie to Travis Hunter lately they seem out on Sanders, NYG have definitely been strongly linked to him but whispers of late have them taking Abdul Carter, the Raiders and Jets are also possibilities and in the case of Vegas they hosted Sanders for a visit. However Vegas have very strong links to Ashton Jeanty and the Jets have recently acquired Justin Fields and rumours have them taking Offensive Line. Which would leave the Saints with a big decision on their hands.
The Saints have not had Sanders in for a team visit. The Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers are his only official team visits. However with the news of Carr’s shoulder only coming to light last week could that have forced them to change their plans?
The last wrinkle in this is the Carolina Panthers who pick at 8 just before New Orleans have indicated that they are willing to trade their pick for the right deal. With the Steelers the most likely to do that from outside the top 10. Could Carolina profit off a QB needy team and hurt a division rival at the same time?

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is visiting with the Las Vegas Raiders for one of their top 30 prospect visits.
Shedeur Sanders is one of the top names at quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. Evaluators are lower on Sanders than the general consensus. Some scouts are comparing him to Joe Burrow and others say he isn’t even worth a first round pick. Sanders is a bigger name because of his famous father in NFL Hall of Fame, cornerback Deion Sanders. Deion was also Shedeur’s head coach all through college. Some teams may shy away from the baggage that comes with how outspoken Deion can be. The Las Vegas Raiders are doing their due diligence to see if Shedeur is a good fit for their team. With the 6th of the draft, the Raiders may be reaching too high for Sanders, but if they value him as a franchise quarterback they need to take him before someone else does.
Shedeur Sanders is an enigma at quarterback. The offensive scheme and offensive line at Colorado were definitely subpar. Sanders did not have much help outside this receiving corps. One thing you can’t knock him for, is his toughness. Sanders will need a good offensive scheme and players to truly support him. This makes him a shaky dynasty pick and a player I would avoid in re-draft leagues. I would only take Sanders if he lands in a great situation for his skillset.

While the Browns may want to select Shedeur Sanders with the No.2 overall pick, the feeling may not be reciprocal.
With Cam Ward being selected at the No.1 overall by the Tennessee Titans becoming more crystallized each day, the nexus of focus swings towards what the Cleveland Browns will do with pick 2 overall in the NFL Draft.
Quarterback is the largest draw when it comes to attention in the NFL. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is no stranger to it being that his father is Deion Sanders. It has come out that ESPN analyst Louis Riddick met with and talked with Deion Sanders recently. The communication outwardly from the Shedeur Sanders camp has been all about football and being ready to play wherever Sanders is selected.
Riddick has spoken to the fact that it wouldn’t be the worst thing if Shedeur slid in the draft and missed out on the top 3 picks with the No.3 pick belonging to the New York Giants. This is fueling speculation that the Sanders camp may have their eye on teams that are beyond the first 3 picks. With the Browns having a poor reputation for quarterback turnover, it makes sense that internally Shedeur Sanders and company would want to be selected by another team.
Look no further than Baker Mayfield when it comes to proper support to see that it should come as no surprise that the Cleveland Browns are considered a flyover team when it comes to players personal preference. Riddick made mention of the Raiders, Saints and Steelers as teams he would envision as a perfect fit for Shedeur Sanders. Keep an eye on betting markets to see if this is signal or noise. If the odds shift in favor of the 3 teams Louis Riddick mentioned it may be time to tear up those mock drafts and start over.

The Browns bring in Joe Flacco while still amidst the search for their future franchise quarterback.
The Cleveland Browns are bringing back quarterback Joe Flacco. The 1-year deal is worth up to $4 million and can turn into $13 million from incentives reached.
Superflex dynasty managers have fond memories of plugging Joe Flacco into their lineups with his late-career Jameis Winston-like boom. The last 2 years have benefitted both Flacco managers and those who have had skill position players on the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts.
This move buys time, stability, and flexibility for the Browns future plans at quarterback. Any rookie they bring in can have extra time if needed while Joe Flacco begins the season as the teams’ starter. Should the Browns not come away with a Shedeur Sanders or a Jaxson Dart they will be able to pursue Kirk Cousins. Consider Joe Flacco signing as a step towards Cleveland Browns players such as Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku as being closer to the path of significant fantasy relevance in 2025.

The New York Giants sign Russell Wilson to a 1-year deal worth up to $21 million.
The New York Giants are taking a patchwork approach to the quarterback position this offseason. After signing Jameis Winston to a 2-year $8 million deal, the Giants have now signed Russell Wilson to a 1-year deal worth up to $21 million.
Based on the contract, the 10-time Pro Bowler will have an edge on Jameis Winston for starter status. The question now becomes, do the Giants select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft a month from now?
The move indicates that the Giants are unsure of whether or not their preferred quarterback will be available for their number 3 overall pick. The early favorites for the first 2 selections in the draft are quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. While Jaxson Dart has gained 1st round draft buzz, the Giants may be inclined to avoid taking Dart by choosing a player at another position or trading back in the draft. In the meantime, the cork is going back in the bottles being popped from the Jameis Winston signing as it relates to Malik Nabers proverbial trip to the moon.
