My intriguing prospect of the year is actually a QB and his name is Brady Gustafson. Shotgun only giant of a QB for Montana that's built like a twig

 Is this draft class bad/shallow enough that a team would give their first for AJ McCarron?

 Browns rumor

quote:

The team has put significant time and resources into finding its long-term solution to its ongoing quarterback problem in the 2017 draft. With the college season winding down, multiple sources said the team's scouts and brass are very high on Trubisky.

Trubisky has not received as much press as higher-profile quarterbacks, but the junior and first-year starter is one of the better prospects in what is perceived as a shallow QB class, and sources said the Browns have been particularly impressed by him. The franchise, which uses a heavy reliance on analytics, has strong grades on him, and it's not a secret in the scouting community how highly the Browns rate him.

"They love him," a top evaluator from another NFL club said. "Trust me, they love him."

Mitch Tribusky is the most obvious first-round trap since EJ Manuel
EJ Manuel's coach told people not to draft him early. No one is THAT obvious anymore.

It's refreshing that we're starting to lock in the pick order. On a side note I wonder how many top 15 picks are going to tank their stock to avoid playing for the Browns
Garrett already said (in a passing, joking way) that he doesn't want to play for a cold weather team.

Myles Garrett, the general manager?

Indeed, one of the 2017 NFL Draft's top prospects is already proposing a trade. The star defensive end from Texas A&M, a Texas native, would like to play in his home state for America's team, and he has a suggestion for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones:

"I'm speaking to you, Jerry," Garrett said in a video clip posted Friday by ESPN. "Mr. (coach Jason) Garrett, make it happen. Dak Prescott leads our team right now. I need you to take Tony Romo, take a couple picks, and give them to Cleveland so you can pick me up. Please, I'd love to play in Dallas, just make it happen."

Mike Freeman has a few notes. Hue wants Trubisky and Sashi is like lol no. Coughlin also apparently loves Fournette at 4.
I read Hue wants Myles but the FO wants a QB.

It's funny how the Jets drafted 3 QBs that all feature on Mayock's Top 5 and all 3 of Geno, Petty, and Hack will be poo poo.

It might be the team.
Just because they're ranked doesn't mean they're good. I doubt he stood on the table for any of them as future franchise QBs. Who you should be embarrassed for are the QBs that couldn't be better than folks like Hack.

 If the Browns only had the #1 pick, would Garrett still be the obvious pick or would we be having the "which QB deserves to go #1?" conversation?

I still think 2 QBs will go in the top 10. Silver says that Hue has no say in the Browns pick and they're actively trying to trade up into the top 10, specifically for Trubisky.

If Hue doesn't have a say then I hope they hired the football mind he was asking for in that room full of analytics folks.

 Casserly made a mock draft where the Browns trade to 4 for Trubiski, and the Jags move back to 12 and get Watson. How would that fly with Jags fans?
