The Cleveland Browns are entering the 2025 NFL season with one of the most crowded and uncertain quarterback rooms in the league. After using two draft picks on promising young signal-callers, Dillon Gabriel in the third round and Shedeur Sanders in the fifth, the Browns have signaled a clear desire to find their next franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n

However, with veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco also competing, and star Deshaun Watson sidelined for the season with a torn Achilles, the battle for the starting QB spot is anything but settled.<\/p>\n

Browns\u2019 2025 quarterback battle and the potential 2026 Cade Klubnik draft pick<\/h2>\n

Dillon Gabriel, taken in the third round, and Shedeur Sanders, a fifth-round pick, both bring promising skill sets but have yet to prove they can lead an NFL offense long-term. Gabriel\u2019s strong arm and pocket presence contrast with Sanders\u2019 exciting dual-threat ability and high-profile college career.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Pickett and Flacco offer experience but are unlikely to be long-term answers. With Watson sidelined, the Browns have no clear-cut starter, making this quarterback competition one of the fiercest in the NFL.Looking beyond 2025, the Browns may still be searching for stability at quarterback. College Football Network\u2019s Max Dorsey predicts Cleveland could select highly in the 2026 NFL Draft, targeting Clemson\u2019s Cade Klubnik, one of the top quarterback prospects.<\/p>\n

Klubnik impressed in 2024 with 36 touchdown passes, only six interceptions, and a dynamic running ability that makes him a dual-threat talent. His steady improvement in footwork and composure makes him a likely first-round pick and a potential franchise quarterback.If Gabriel and Sanders fail to meet expectations this season, the Browns might pivot to Klubnik next year, signaling another quarterback overhaul.<\/p>\n

This uncertainty underscores the Browns\u2019 ongoing quarterback challenges and the high stakes of their 2025 roster decisions.Also Read: Bill Belichick\u2019s alleged engagement to 24-year-old Jordon Hudson raises eyebrows after ring photo surfacesFor Browns fans, the next season will be critical.
