Key Highlights

• The Browns aren't in the market to burn a premium pick on a QB.
• With Deshaun Watson’s contract still on the books and the team wanting to see the ceiling of Shedeur Sanders, spending high draft capital on Ty Simpson—who many scouts argue lacks a singular "elite" trait—shouldn’t make sense for GM Andrew Berry. More: Steal of the Draft?

• Standing 6'5" with a verified "howitzer" for an arm, Allar possesses the physical tools Simpson lacks.
• Because he is projected to slide into the fourth or fifth round after season ending ankle surgery, the Browns could snag him without sacrificing assets needed to bolster the roster elsewhere.
