Kennedy Pickett’s surprise move to Las Vegas reshapes the Browns’ QB depth as Aidan O’Connell’s wrist injury opens a window for new options behind Geno Smith in Vegas. Cleveland pivots to Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders as Flacco’s backups, while Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s past trades and Peterson-era pedigree loom as long-term pieces.

The trade tightens the Raiders’ roster reality and injects a backup with starting experience into a volatile situation, while Sanders and Gabriel in Cleveland provide dynasty and depth-chart upside if they continue to show development in the preseason. Week 1 against Cincinnati sets the initial stage for how these depth charts might shake out in real games.
