No matter who the Cleveland Browns decide to start at quarterback next season, they understood during the NFL Draft that not only did they need more weapons for them, but they had to do a better job up front to ensure that they have a clean pocket.
All indications currently point to Shedeur Sanders winning the job, though anything is still possible at this point.
Regardless, whoever the quarterback will be now has a better offensive lineman in place than they typically do, as the Browns decided to add to the unit by selecting Spencer Fano in the first round with pick No. 9.
Not many have questioned this pick, and some view it as one of the best in the draft, including CBS.
