Browns Predicted to Draft Shedeur Sanders Replacement No One Saw Coming

Summary

The Cleveland Browns have struggled to find a consistent quarterback since 1999. Sports analysts predict the team might pick a new quarterback in the 2027 NFL draft, possibly someone unexpected like Drake Lindsey, who has shown strong arm talent but is currently not widely known.

Key Facts

  • The Browns have tried 43 different quarterbacks since 1999.
  • Baker Mayfield and Kelly Holcomb are among the few with moderate success.
  • The Browns’ current quarterback hopefuls include Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel, and Taylen Green.
  • Experts believe the Browns may draft a quarterback near the top of the 2027 draft.
  • CBS Sports analyst Mike Renner suggests the Browns could pick Drake Lindsey, a lesser-known quarterback with a very strong arm.
  • Lindsey played as Minnesota’s starter last year, throwing for 2,382 yards, 18 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
  • Several other quarterbacks are considered first-round prospects for the 2027 draft, but Lindsey is not yet among the top names.
  • There is a chance that Sanders or Watson could perform well enough in 2026 to keep their positions long-term.
