“I don’t assume the Browns will actually have a shot at Ward, and so they would possibly even like Shedeur Sanders higher for his or her group,” Cabot defined. “We received’t know the reply to that till draft evening, however I nonetheless assume they’ll take a QB at (decide No. 2).”
The Browns doubtlessly leaking that “they could even like” Sanders over Ward is fascinating contemplating draft skilled Todd McShay of The Ringer recently said that “it is obvious that Cleveland is on the listing of acceptable spots for Shedeur to land.” Browns reporter Tim Bielik of the Cleveland Plain Supplier predicted Tennessee will seize Ward and the Browns will take Sanders.
In his newest mock draft printed on Monday morning, Ben Standig of The Athletic echoed Bielik’s take.
“Regardless of his spectacular accuracy, Sanders is seen by some groups as a Day 2 choice,” Standig wrote. “That’s simpler to say when your crew doesn’t have a solution on the sport’s most vital place. That doesn’t imply drafting him at No. 2 isn’t a attain.”
