The Browns are picking up some additional draft picks by trading Myles Garrett<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Could they use one of their future picks to select a quarterback in the supplemental draft?<\/p>\n

If head coach Todd Monken has his way, Cleveland will stay far away from quarterback Brendan Sorsby if he declares.<\/p>\n

Sorsby, whose representation is currently arguing to have his college football eligibility temporarily reinstated, could subsequently declare for the supplemental draft this summer if that request is denied.<\/p>\n

Monken told reporters on Monday that he hasn\u2019t been kept in the loop on how the Browns\u2019 personnel staff, led by G.M. Andrew Berry, is evaluating Sorsby. But either way, he\u2019s not interested.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, that\u2019s not even come across my desk. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re in a position to want to go down that road<\/a>. That\u2019s my option, not Andrew\u2019s,\u201d Monken said, via Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. \u201cI like the quarterbacks that we have. I think that\u2019s a slippery slope, when you go down that [path] \u2014 irrespective of talent \u2014 in terms of the situation he\u2019s put himself in. We all know what that is. He put himself in that situation. And we\u2019ve seen in other sports with players that have been banned for life from playing in professional sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s a slippery slope to go down that road. Again, that\u2019s a question for Andrew and for management. But from my end of it, kind of a tough angle to go down that road and think that\u2019s going to be your franchise quarterback \u2014 if he\u2019s ever eligible to even play in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of now, there\u2019s been no indication that the NFL would prevent Sorsby from playing at the pro level.<\/p>\n

The Browns currently have Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel ostensibly competing to become their QB1 in 2026, with Watson appearing to be in the proverbial pole position at the start of June.<\/p>\n

\u201cI anticipate there still being competition,\u201d Monken said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean that the reps will be equal. That\u2019s the easiest way to put it. I think we\u2019re in a good place right now with our quarterback room. All of the guys that are in there are working hard and I like the level of talent that we have in there. But the next six days will go a long way into how we go into fall camp.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Browns are picking up some additional draft picks by trading Myles Garrett.
