NFL draft rumors have come out after the annual combine for the draftees started on Wednesday. In the second day of the draft combine, the Cleveland Browns have reportedly considering quarterback Mitch Trubisky as their first overall pick.
Trubisky is one of the top quarterbacks in this year's draft and he is a product of the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Browns are in need of a QB and they will probably use the first overall selection for one. Here are the three possible first overall pick in this year's draft.
Mitch Trubisky, QB - North Carolina
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns are "strongly considering" drafting Mitch Trubisky with the first overall pick. Browns head coach Hue Jackson told Cabot that he likes Trubisky's height and he fits what the team wants for a quarterback.
"I think that's great. It's good that he's over 6'2". We all have a profile for what we like a quarterback to be, and I think you kind of work through that. I like a guy that's a little taller, and he's over 6'2" so that's great for him," Jackson said.
Mitch Trubisky only played as a full-time starter for the Tar Heels last season. However, he showed that he has an NFL arm, as well as anticipation and composure for a 22-year-old quarterback. It's also a plus that Trubisky is a Browns fan growing up in Mentor, Ohio.
Myles Garrett, DE - Texas A&M
Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is the consensus number one overall pick this year's draft. However, it is possible that the Browns will pass on him because they are still the Browns. Their history of drafting players is not really good.
Nevertheless, Garrett is a 6-foot-5, 265-pound player that has the speed, quickness and agility to beat offensive tackles. He is also just 21 years old and one of the best athletes in this year's draft class. The Browns also need to improve their defense so it makes sense that they draft Garrett.
The Browns still have the No. 12 overall pick in the draft courtesy of the Philadelphia Eagles and they could end up with Mitch Trubisky. The good news for Cleveland, Garrett is open to playing for the Browns if he gets drafted first overall, per Sirius XM.
Jonathan Allen, DE - Alabama
This year's draft class goes down between Myles Garrett and Jonathan Allen with Garrett having the advantage. But since the Browns are still the Browns, there is a chance that they will select Allen over Garrett.
The 22-year-old is the best player on the best defense in college football last season. Just like Garrett, Allen is a player that the Browns can build their defense around. According to NFL.com, the only problem in Allen is his surgically-repaired shoulders.
