Man injured while working on NFL draft stage

What to look for: The Browns own the Nos.

“You get into these situations where it’s pretty clear-cut when you have a draft board, you’re picking at 14, you have a list of guys that you have graded as worth going at 14”, Howie Roseman told the media last week.

However, while there are major concerns about these prospects, expect as many as three to go in the first round, with so many desperate teams in need of a quarterback. Take Garrett first overall, don’t reach for a quarterback, and give the Browns a chance to bounce back from last year’s 1-15 finish.

Darnold, 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, threw 31 touchdown passes and nine interceptions as a redshirt freshman in 2016. Mahomes would be the first Texas Tech quarterback to be drafted in the first round. Luke Falk of Washington State, Josh Allen of Wyoming and Jarrett Stidham of Auburn could all go in the first round in 2018.

Only four Southeastern Conference programs have produced four first-round picks, and two of them were Saban’s Alabama teams in 2011 and 2012. Fournette was the nation’s No. 1 overall recruit by 247 Sports and its national player of the year.

Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert called the upcoming National Football League draft one of the most unpredictable he’s seen in a long time, primarily because of the uncertainty of where some of the top quarterbacks will be selected. Scouts Inc. ranks Trubisky 24th. All but two of these picks (Will Fuller and Duane Brown) were made by the Texans in their original draft position.

Right now, some believe Kizer is a late first-rounder, while others believe he could be the fifth quarterback taken and fall as far as the end of the second round. Coincidentally, NFLDraftScout.com ranks Trubisky 12th overall. Like the former teams, the 49ers are also in need of a quarterback and secondary help.

Lynch said there are certain media members with whom personnel officials like him speak, and because of that they may have some insight into what certain teams are thinking in the run-up to the draft, which begins Thursday. The Jaguars best record since 2011 is 5-11.

The team is reportedly strongly considering selecting a quarterback with the pick, rumored to be North Carolina’s Mitchell Trubisky. The team the Browns probably have to worry about are those pesky Jets. There are more needs than there are draft picks.

Not so fast. Polian said in the initial phone call, the Browns wouldn’t even make an offer.

If the Houston Texans want one of the top end quarterbacks in the 2017 NFL Draft, they are going to have to get out of their comfort zone to make it happen. Why not pick up as many young, talented prospects as you can.

But if McCaffrey does become the pick for NY, he’d add a versatility both in the rushing and receiving game that they’ve lacked since the departure of Tiki Barber. None are ready to play.

Realizing today is the final Monday before the NFL Draft should have Cleveland Browns fans everywhere feeling a bit better today.

“The Browns would be getting their face of the franchise”, Trivisonno added.
