Gabriel was rated as the No. 163 overall player and the No. 10 quarterback in the draft by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. The Browns clearly valued him much higher than this as the team selected him 94th overall and made him the fifth quarterback off of the board.

The Cleveland Browns drafted two quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. At NFL rookie minicamp, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski gives a clear goal amid the quarterbacks competition.

For the first time in many years, the Cleveland Browns welcomed 47 players to rookie minicamp, but none more anticipated than Shedeur Sanders. During the early part of the practice, Nathan Zegura and Beau Bishop of the Browns in-house media team spoke with linebacker coach Jason Tarver.
