    Clearly something off the field is going on with Sanders so ignoring that and looking in vacuum, why have the Browns selected Dillon Gabriel

      Wild about Sanders- really goes to show how personality still matters.

      Hate this Gabriel pick though. I guess they looked at DTR and thought “that was fun, let’s do it again!”. More than anything, Dillon was going to be available much later than this pick. Just don’t see this one, at all.

        Dillon Gabriel and Jalen Milroe are bottom scraps to me.. But the Browns just had to take a worthless pint sized QB they couldve taken in the 5th rd who choked on the national stage... Beautiful...

              Will Howard and Sanders are better players of the game of football than Dillon Gabriel in every way.  This is 2016 Cody Kessler all over again.

                My best guess is the Browns decision makers really liked him. With the flexibility of the transfer portal we are going to see more and more players with a lot of experience with different programs, and Gabriel is one of those guys who not only played 6 years for 3 different programs but also had success at each stop. 

                I suspect it’s a path that will lead to seeing more and more pro-ready players who follow that path. It shows adaptability. I believe it will be a game changer with how NFL teams value players.

                  Watching Sports Center now and ex-Jets GM Mike Tannebaum is talking about Sanders, and he says that on the field he's a first round talent "but he must have turned people off with his interviews which is weird because other guys like Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel had interviews that came off bad and they still got drafted in the first round..." 

                  ?

                  Tannebaum also said after this that the Browns are having the best draft so far, with them "adding three immediate starters in Graham, Schwesinger and Judkins" and the fact that they now have Jacksonville's first round pick next year.

                        This FO have certainly completely changed their usual draft strategy. 

                        Taken what are classed as non premium positions in the earlier rounds and just gone for good football players at their positions.... until their 5th selection.

                          With us going back to two tight end sets, I could definitely see a lot of playing time for Fannin too.

                              He is a solid, solid pick.

                              Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland sucked the oxygen out of the TE Room in this year's draft.

                              Fannin played well against Penn St and A&M.

                              I believe he can have a very good NFL career.

                                I think there are a lot of extracurriculars that come with Shedeur Sanders. 

                                - Music

                                - Cars

                                - Social Media 

                                - The Entourage 

                                At some point, the above become something for many professional athletes, but rookies need to be focused. 

                                I saw a video of Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders training together. Sanders asked Ward, "Do you make music?" Ward said, "No." Sanders said, "What do you do for fun?" Ward said, "I play football." Sanders replied, "What about your hobbies?" Ward said, "I told you. I play football."

                                I can't verify if any of Ward's answer are 100% true just like I can't verify my opinion of the potential distractions Shedeur Sanders has in his life. 32 General Managers feel the same.

                                I think it's fair to question the hunger of a rich kid that grew up playing Daddy Ball and Shedeur Sanders is the ultimate example of the rich kid that has played Daddy Ball. Most Daddy Ball stops sometime before HS. The Sanders kept it going through college. There's nothing wrong that it happened, but it can't be denied as a red flag.

                                Deion was very successful at Jackson St and created the blueprints to resurrect Colorado. 

                                We shall see what happens without Travis Hunter on the field.

                                  I think there are a lot of extracurriculars that come with Shedeur Sanders. 

                                  - Music

                                  - Cars

                                  - The Entourage 

                                  At some point, the above become something for many professional athletes, but rookies need to be focused. 

                                  I saw a video of Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders training together. Sanders asked Ward, "Do you make music?" Ward said, "No." Sanders said, "What do you do for fun?" Ward said, "I play football." Sanders replied, "What about your hobbies?" Ward said, "I told you. I play football."

                                  I can't verify if any of Ward's answer are 100% true just like I can't verify my opinion of the potential distractions Shedeur Sanders has in his life. 32 General Managers feel the same.

                                    It's the LaVar Ball effect.

                                    @texasag1969 if it's affect, I know you'll let me know, but I think I'm square on the proper usage (hahahahahahahahaha).

                                    GMs and Owners don't want to deal with Deion's mouth and social media megaphone when something doesn't go the way the family wants.

                                      Watching Sports Center now and ex-Jets GM Mike Tannebaum is talking about Sanders, and he says that on the field he's a first round talent "but he must have turned people off with his interviews which is weird because other guys like Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel had interviews that came off bad and they still got drafted in the first round..." 

                                      ?

                                      Tannebaum also said after this that the Browns are having the best draft so far, with them "adding three immediate starters in Graham, Schwesinger and Judkins" and the fact that they now have Jacksonville's first round pick next year. 

                                      And Harold Fannin, who is a great piece to add with Njoku.

                                      Believe it or not, I listed him 1st on my list of Flugel's Favorite Untalked about Fellers.  How about these eye popping numbers in 2024:

                                      13 games 117 rec 1555 yards 10 TD

                                      I also listed the QB that's an inch taller than Russell Wilson was on draft day and 2 inches taller than Tom Thumb.  Regardless of the bandwagon chomping at the bits to height snob him - his experience volume, success in 3 different programs and punctuation of it all going undefeated in the Big 10 plus winning the Conference Championship reflects a guy that deserves a shot IMO... If height was an issue - I think I'd see more INTs than I do below.

                                          I wonder if the strategy is to double-dip at QB -- pick Sanders in the 5th and force him to make the roster? It worked for Washington

                                          I assume we’re going to have like 6 QBs on the roster at some point in training camp, so yeah, might draft another guy. Probably pick up a udfa or 2. Maybe another trade or sign another team’s castoff?
