However, it was stunning when they selected Dillon Gabriel in the third round. While his experience and mobility are great for a backup, his weak arm and issues against pressure will pigeonhole his upside and opportunities,\u201d Valentino wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s an odd and expensive bet to make on someone without the physical tools of an NFL starter.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Gabriel is a strong pocket passer who\u2019s got good instincts, he doesn\u2019t have the requisite frame or arm talent that most NFL teams covet.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders has far more upside in the league than Gabriel, so it was puzzling to see the Browns use such an important selection on the Oregon product.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the team now has two rookies to evaluate this upcoming year, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see how Gabriel fares.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_640\/MjE0NTUyOTMzMzE5MDU4NDU1\/shadeur-sanders-jimmy-haslam-and-the-cleveland-browns.jpg\" alt=\"Deion Sanders Viral Video Exposes Anti Cleveland Browns Draft Desire -  Athlon Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The Cleveland Browns had a busy few days during the 2025 NFL Draft as they were stockpiled with picks to help jumpstart their rebuild.
