I wish the Browns would’ve kept quarterback Kenny Pickett.
You can never have enough quarterbacks. The Browns of the expansion era know that all too well. So, if they had kept four quarterbacks, then they would have fortified themselves better for when the inevitable injuries at the position take place.
Because quarterback is the most important position in team football, you stockpile players there. You don’t need to stockpile right guards or strong safeties or outside linebackers, but you do need to stockpile passers.
But if the Browns were determined to unload one of their quarterbacks, then I sure wish they would’ve gotten more from the Las Vegas Raiders than a fifth-round choice in the 2026 NFL Draft. Fifth-rounders usually end up bring practice squad players, if they stick at all, so I think it’s absurd that the Browns would give up a guy who was a first-rounder for someone like that. I think Pickett has a real chance to develop into at least a No. 2 quarterback. Some quarterbacks who bounce around to various teams early in their career suddenly find themselves and blossom, just as former Brown Baker Mayfield did. What if Pickett is one of them? That has just as much of a chance of happening as a fifth-rounder does of getting into a regular-season game. And because Pickett is a quarterback, it means more.
Ugh.
Bad move, Browns, just a bad move.
