Green has the physical tools to be a star at 6'6 235 pounds, a plus arm, and excellent running ability.
However, Green's been inconsistent as a thrower (completed sixty percent of his passes in 2025) and threw eleven interceptions last season with nineteen touchdowns.
Green rushed for 777 yards for Arkansas last season after rushing for over six hundred in 2024, so he can move around well, but his decision-making has been questioned during his college career.
Green played the last two seasons in Fayetteville after starting for two seasons with Boise State.
The tools are all there for a successful quarterback, and Todd Monken did a great job with the mobile Lamar Jackson when he was the offensive coordinator for Baltimore, so Green certainly makes sense as a developmental quarterback.
Green might find a place in gadget plays, and with his size, Green could see some time as the designated short-yardage quarterback.
There is a lot to like about Taylen Green, but he's very raw and has many edges to refine, so he's far from a sure thing. I do like taking a shot with a late pick and seeing what can be done with him.
This could be the end of Dillon Gabriel with Cleveland, whether it's now or sometime in training camp.
If you take a quarterback like Green, he needs time to develop and learn, and if you are only giving him a training camp to impress you, why bother?
Taylen Green has NFL size and skills; Dillon Gabriel doesn't. Gabriel looks to me to be the odd man out in the Browns quarterback room.
