While some members of the Browns organization want the team to select North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky with the first pick in the draft, head coach Hue Jackson isn’t among them. Jackson has thrown his support behind Texas A&M edge rusher Myles Garrett, reports Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com.
Considering both Jackson’s offensive background and the Browns’ lack of ideal quarterback options, it perhaps speaks volumes that he’d rather grab a defender No. 1 overall. He’s hardly alone in preferring Garrett over Trubisky, though, with one NFL personnel executive telling Cabot that “it’s not even close between Garrett and Trubisky.” However, Trubisky isn’t without his supporters – another personnel man informed Cabot he has more upside than Eagles signal-caller Carson Wentz, who went second overall last year after the Browns traded out of that spot.
The Browns have a second first-rounder, No. 12 overall, though it’s doubtful Trubisky will still be available when the time comes for them to make that pick. That means their bigwigs are going to have to make a choice between Garrett or Trubisky, which could be a problem. There’s “some discord” among the team’s decision-makers, with a clash potentially occurring between the old- and new-school members of the organization, multiple sources have told Cabot. Led by general manager Sashi Brown and chief strategy officer/former baseball executive Paul DePodesta, the Browns’ front office heavily emphasizes analytics. It doesn’t seem that everyone in Cleveland is on board with that, which bears watching for a club with a franchise-altering call to make in two weeks.

He also wanted Kaepernick and RGIII to lead his offense.
They need to MAKE IT HAPPEN and get both players!
Get Garret at 1 and Trubiski at 2 or where ever they can.
They need to call the Bengals offer.them the 12th pick for McCarron and get it done. McCarron knows Jackson’s offense, he is ready to start, has great.leadership skills and allows the rebuilding to be fast tracked. This is a NO BRAINER, trade the pick, make the call…..
Get real, McCarton is not worth the 12th pick overall.
youre right, you are a no brainer
lol seriously for them to move from 12 (1250 points on trade value chart ) to #2 overall (2600 points ) they would have to either add pick #33 (580 points ) + future 2nd rounder (580 points ) 2410 total points.
Although I’m sure the 49ers would ask for a future 1st rounder. The Browns go on to have Top 5 pick in next year’s draft.
I mean at least next year they could draft Sam darnold or Josh Rosen.
Myles Garrett ain’t no smart nuff to learn him da NFL playbooks y’all. I reckon dat boy had his brain stolen by a crazy crook
Garrett #1,Conley#12,Mahomes#32. You start Brock O and let Mahomes learn from Hue.
I like your thinking Dawg, not sure Mahones sticks on the board that long though, he’s been looking up lately.
Watch the QB from Pitt. He is my future QB for the money. Make him sit 1 season NO MATTER WHAT and start Brock. HE’S A SYSTEM QB! Plug him in a Denver type O and let him be the average/above average QB he is. I got 5 bucks that the Steelers draft this kid.
