Overview

• The Browns are 1-5 after opening with Joe Flacco, moving to rookie Dillon Gabriel, and trading Flacco to the Bengals, leaving fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders as the backup.
• ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid’s 2026 mock projects Cleveland taking Oregon quarterback Dante Moore with the No. 3 pick, framing him as a potential franchise option.
• Reid describes Moore as a calm distributor with the arm strength to attack all levels and cites his 72% completion rate, which ranks ninth in the FBS.
• Reid writes that Gabriel and Sanders have not established themselves as long-term solutions, reflecting outside evaluations rather than any formal team plan.
• Gabriel is expected to start again Sunday against the Dolphins after two mixed outings, including just over 55% passing for 411 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in his first two starts.
