Deshaun Watson watched as the Cleveland Browns added multiple young prospects to their quarterback room during the 2025 NFL Draft. First, Dillon Gabriel was drafted out of Oregon in the third round, and then Shedeur Sanders‘ slide came to an end courtesy of the AFC North franchise in the fifth round.

Sanders and Gabriel join a Cleveland quarterback room that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and an injured Deshaun Watson.

Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho suggested that Shedeur Sanders' unexpected draft slide could turn into a hidden opportunity and possibly impact Deshaun Watson's future in Cleveland.
