The Cleveland Browns have three options at quarterback to choose from in their existing roster. Fans now want to know whether they would pick another quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. Andrew Berry’s latest presser hints that the team is still exploring different options rather than focusing on one clear plan.

“Yeah, I think it's possible,” Berry said in a conference on Thursday, April 16.  “It's possible that we could add to any position. I wouldn't disqualify the quarterback either.”

That response lines up with how the Browns are approaching this draft. Instead of locking into one need, they are keeping flexibility as their main focus going into the first round.

Berry's program holds two picks in Round 1, No.6 overall and No.24. The remaining seven are distributed among the other six rounds. Since Berry is preaching a best player available philosophy, other than the quarterback, Cleveland also needs an offensive tackle and a wide receiver.

Another key point from Berry’s press conference was how the team views the No. 6 overall pick. There has been talk about a possible trade down, but Berry did not fully commit to that idea.

“I love how everybody last year thought we weren't trading down and this year everybody assumes we are,” Berry said. “Our mindset isn't about ‘just trade it away.’ It's about maximizing the asset.”

That shows Cleveland is open to offers but not desperate to move. They are likely waiting to see how the board plays out before making any final call on draft night.

Berry also highlighted prospects like Carnell Tate and Jeremiyah Love, praising their playmaking ability. For now, it looks like the Browns are not locked into one plan and will see how things play out on draft night.

As the draft gets closer, Cleveland’s quarterback situation is still not fully settled. Right now, they have Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel in the room, with the first two mainly running for the race to start.

Given his uncertain situation, Berry could feel pressure to draft a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. Opinions on Ty Simpson’s draft stock vary widely, from top-10 buzz to falling out of Round 1. Berry declined to predict where he’ll land.

Still, the Browns did their groundwork, hosting him for a pre-draft visit in case he becomes a realistic target.

“We’ve enjoyed the time that we’ve spent with Ty,” Berry said about Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. “Son of a coach, really smart, very driven. He did a great job maximizing it.”

There is also a chance they don’t draft one at all and instead look at other ways to add depth after the draft. Berry also made it clear that any move would not be about replacing someone directly but would be based on value.
