Three late-round QBs Browns could target in 2026 NFL Draft

Another name that was widely considered one of the top quarterbacks before the 2025 college football season was Clemson's Cade Klubnik, who failed to take the next step in his development.

After showing plenty of flashes during the 2024 season, Klubnik regressed along with the rest of the Tigers this past year, throwing for 2,943 yards and 16 touchdowns. This caused his stock to completely plummet, and the 22-year-old is projected to be a late Day Two, early Day Three pick in the upcoming draft.

Still, Klubnik's dual-threat ability perfectly aligns with Monken's style of play on offense. Taking a shot on Klubnik in the later rounds of the draft makes perfect sense for Cleveland, and the young playmaker could find himself in the battle for the starting quarterback job if selected by the organization.

Taylen Green (Arkansas)

Of the three quarterbacks listed, Arkansas' Taylen Green has the most intriguing profile heading into the draft.

Standing 6-foot-6 and 227 lbs., Green had one of the best combine performances by a quarterback in recent memory, running a blazing 4.36 40-yard dash and recording a 43.5-inch vertical. However, while his athletic profile is nothing short of incredible, the former Razorback standout will need plenty of development before he is truly ready to start for an NFL team.

Luckily for the Browns, there is a good chance that Green could fall to Day Three of the upcoming draft, putting the organization in perfect range to take a flyer on him. If Green were selected by Cleveland, he would make for a perfect QB3 under Monken while both Sanders and Watson compete for the starting job.
