The Browns selected Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in Round Three of the 2025 NFL Draft. Gabriel spent six years in college, starting two seasons at Central Florida, two at Oklahoma, and one at Oregon. (He missed most of 2021, his final UCF season, with a broken clavicle.) Gabriel steadily improved throughout his career, culminating with an impressive 2024 campaign at Oregon. He threw for 3,857 yards with 30 TDs vs. six INTs on a 72.9% completion rate and 8.6 yards per attempt. Gabriel ranked second in adjusted completion rate and eighth in Pro Football Focus passing grade among 128 qualifying QBs. He was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and finished third in Heisman Trophy voting. This is a smart, experienced QB with a quick release and excellent accuracy. Unfortunately, Gabriel goes 5’11 and 205 pounds with underwhelming arm strength and average athleticism. That ultimately limits his upside for NFL and fantasy teams. We’re likely looking at a long-term backup with spot-start ability.
Gabriel had a long successful career at UCF, Oklahoma and Oregon.
He can move around the pocket and even take off and run. His accuracy is solid too.
He should be developed as a back-up in hopes he can eventually become a starter.
Gabriel could be a stash in Superflex drafts, especially with the Browns lack of impact QBs like Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco
He doesn't have huge upside, but does fit the system.
