We got picks next year. Don\u2019t we gotta see some progress with the guys we got now?\u201d Garrett asked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#clevelandbrowns need Kevin Stefanski to develop #dillongabriel &amp; #shedeursanders. #browns #shorts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dkNvPghKqYU?start=6&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough balancing act trying to win now while simultaneously developing potential franchise quarterbacks for the future, but this team needs to figure out if either Gabriel or Sanders can be the guy ahead of the 2026 draft.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantom-marca.uecdn.es\/d4ae887f342e3cc6de588f4e832a73a1\/resize\/828\/f\/jpg\/assets\/multimedia\/imagenes\/2025\/08\/12\/17550346152256.png\" alt=\"Shedeur Sanders knows Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel aren't better than  him; things are heating up in Cleveland | Marca\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 2026 class is loaded with potential franchise quarterbacks, including Arch Manning, LaNorris Sellers, Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar, and Cade Klubnik, and the Browns need to have a clearer picture of their future after this season.<\/p>\n<p>If Gabriel and Sanders aren\u2019t developed at all, then what was the point of using a third and a fifth-round pick on them?<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t doing them any favors to throw them out there in Week 1 behind an offensive line that gave up 66 sacks last year, but considering the fact that Joe Flacco hasn\u2019t started a full season\u2019s worth of games in eight years, it\u2019s a fair assumption that at least Gabriel will get a look later this season.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is a tough situation for Stefanski to navigate, but at some point, this franchise needs a long-term quarterback or Stefanski is going to have to answer some difficult questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The Cleveland Browns went through a lot of changes this offseason, and change was necessary after going 3-14 last season on the heels of an<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
