I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	Trends
"Gabriel was selected by Cleveland in the third round of April's draft. His 6.5 aDOT last season was easily the lowest in this rookie class, but he made it work, completing 73% of his passes and he was off target on a class-low 6.0% of his aimed throws. He was way more aggressive during multiyear stints at Oklahoma and UCF, and his overall collegiate efficiency is terrific, including QB rating (class-best 161) and QBR (78.8). He's an older prospect and undersized, but adds some value with his legs (career 311-1,895-33 line). Gabriel will begin his career behind Joe Flacco and will hope to earn starts ahead of he, Kenny Pickett and fifth-round rookie Shedeur Sanders this season. He'll be worth drafting in superflex only if he wins the job."	"The rookie wasn't asked to do much, and the fact the Browns were able to jump out to a 17-6 halftime lead gave head coach Kevin Stefanski flexibility in how he deployed his young signal-caller. Quinshon Judkins, who scored three rushing touchdowns, and the Browns defense, which picked off Tua Tagovailoa three times and also recorded a pair of sacks, did most of the heavy lifting, leading to Gabriel's lowest passing yardage total yet in three games as a starter. The 2025 third-round pick will face off with Drake Maye and the Patriots on the road in Week 8 next Sunday afternoon."
