Mitch Trubisky, UNC.
Projection: 1st round to Cleveland. He could be an Andy Dalton clone, and Hue Jackson would be fine with that. He’s smart, tough and makes good decisions. He doesn’t have Dalton’s sheer arm strength but that’s okay.

Cleveland would look to build a shorter passing offense around Trubisky. By mixing in a good running game and the tight end on play action this could work for the Browns.

The rub is that no matter who’s at quarterback for them in 2017 and beyond they need to build a good offensive line or it’s pointless. Any young quarterback is going to fail if they’re constantly running for their lives.

Brad Kaaya, Miami(FL):
Projection: 1st round to the Baltimore Ravens. Flacco was never that good except for his Super Bowl run. Now they’re stuck with him until 2018. This does give them time to groom his replacement while they wait for his contract to become tradable.

Kaaya has some issues as a prospect. He struggles with a blitz and doesn’t seem to have production which matches his talent level.

The Ravens can afford to have him sit and learn tho. And Flacco has over 20 million reasons not to complain about the move.
