Skip Bayless goes scorched earth on Shedeur Sanders' Browns for drafting Arkansas QB

1 hour ago 3

The Cleveland Browns picked up Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Taylen Green in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft despite having the likes of Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel in the room.

Green is an impressive athlete who has the potential to become a dual-threat quarterback in the NFL. He passed for 2,714 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this past season. On 139 carries, he rushed 777 yards and eight touchdowns. Moreover, at the NFL Combine, he recorded an impressive 4.36 40-yard dash with a 43.5'' vertical jump and an 11'2'' broad jump.

Even Browns general manager Andrew Berry cleared that they drafted the quarterback based on his attributes and what he could provide the Browns with his skill sets in the near future. However, according to NFL analyst Skip Bayless, this was still not a good enough reason for the Browns to turn a blind eye to what they already have.

Skip Bayless blasts Browns for drafting Taylen Green despite Shedeur Sanders & Co.

Taking to X, Skip Bayless expressed his frustration over the Browns' alleged brain-fade moment to draft a position that they already have in full. Speaking in favor of Shedeur Sanders starting next season, Bayless wrote on X:

"WHY? WHY? WHY? Browns draft another QB, Taylen Green, top of R6. Freakish big athlete who throws it pretty well and definitely can run. BUT THE BROWNS DON'T NEED ANOTHER QB. THEY HAVE 3, WITH SHEDEUR THE STARTER. SHOW SOME FAITH IN HIM."

The Browns have talent at their disposal since drafting Dillon Gabriel and Sanders last year. They probably already have a starter in Sanders and with Deshaun Watson returning from injury, the Browns QB is as competitive as it can be.
