We have moved into a Day 3 run on quarterbacks. The Browns are continuing the trend by taking UCLA passer Dorian Thompson-Robinson at No. 140.
Thompson-Robinson follows Fresno State’s Jake Haener (Saints), Georgia’s Stetson Bennett (Rams), Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell (Raiders) and Houston’s Clayton Tune (Cardinals) off the board.
Thompson-Robinson decided to use his fifth year of college eligibility and return to UCLA for the 2022 campaign. In his fifth season as the starter, the quarterback set career-highs in completion percentage (69.6), passing yards (3,169), and touchdowns (27). Thompson-Robinson was also a threat on the ground, adding another 645 yards and 12 touchdowns.
It was only a year ago that the Browns gave up a historic haul to acquire Deshaun Watson. The front office is likely hoping that Thompson-Robinson can develop into a steady backup who won’t disrupt the offense. The team let 2022 Watson fill-in starter Jacoby Brissett defect to the Commanders in free agency. The rookie will be joining a depth chart that also features Joshua Dobbs and Kellen Mond.
