The Cleveland Browns need a new QB but they may not be overzealous to draft Shedeur Sanders with the No. 2 pick to get it. As CBS Sports' Josh Edwards writes, the Browns may not be too keen on taking the "Grown QB" and could decide to take his teammate, Travis Hunter, instead.
"Why not Shedeur Sanders? The truth is that I do not know how the Browns feel about Sanders or how they will feel in three months. What I do know is that teams are not going to have a unanimous impression of this quarterback class and fans should be open to the idea of the Browns taking another player if they do not love whichever quarterback is there at No. 2 overall," Edwards wrote.
"If the Browns favor Ward, but he is taken No. 1 overall by the Titans, then they could entertain the idea of taking a non-quarterback or trading out if someone covets Sanders. The cost to make that move would likely not be as high as it had been a year ago unless it were born out of an act of desperation."
Perhaps Deion Sanders scared Cleveland off from considering taking Shedeur. He did threaten to "be an Eli" to get his son to a preferred destination.
"All this is subjective because I know where I kind of want them to go," Sanders said, per Bleacher Report. "And let's not forget Shilo (Sanders). But I know where I want them to go. There's certain cities where it ain't going to happen. ...It's going to be an Eli."
Cleveland could be one of those certain cities. LeBron James famously left it twice despite being a proud Akron native. The Sanders family may pass it up altogether -- especially given the Browns' historical futility.
