Where Shedeur Sanders stands on Browns’ QB depth chart

The Cleveland Browns ended the NFL Draft slide of former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Once viewed as a first-round pick, Sanders didn't hear his name called until the fifth round at No. 144 overall. 

As such, the Browns added more quarterbacks to a rather confusing room that includes the injured Deshaun Watson, veteran Joe Flacco, the rocky Kenny Pickett, and rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was selected in the third round. 

Going into camp, there doesn't appear to be a locked and loaded starting quarterback, especially with each of these signal-callers bringing some big questions. 

Flacco is 40 years old, Pickett never found his footing despite being a first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Watson is injured again and out for the foreseeable future. 

So, the Browns QB depth chart is a toss-up, although it looks like Gabriel has the upper hand on Sanders early on, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. 

"Gabriel will be ahead of Sanders at the start of spring ball just like he was in the draft, and it will be incumbent on Sanders to close the gap. Had Gabriel been off the board there, the Browns may have considered Jalen Milroe, who went No. 92 to the Seahawks."

Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees reportedly wants decision-making to be a big factor in his next QB, so take that as you will. Nonetheless, at least for now, Gabriel - who pioneered the Oregon Ducks to a Big Ten title - is ahead of Sanders, which is exactly what happened during the NFL Draft.
