Quarterback Mitch Trubisky has emerged as the best quarterback for the 2017 NFL Draft. And rumor has it these days that the Cleveland Browns want him.

In the beginning, many, including this writer, had the Cleveland Browns taking a dominant defender. Edge rusher Myles Garrett and interior D-lineman Jonathan Allen came to mind. The leading quarterbacks in this draft class just weren’t too impressive.

Then Mitch Trubisky of North Carolina started to emerge from somewhere in the pack. And Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reported last week that the Cleveland Browns love him. An NFL evaluator told La Canfora, “They love him. Trust me, they love him.”

Remember, the team loved Jared Goff last year and traded out once the Los Angeles Rams traded up to get him. In the process, the Browns missed out on Carson Wentz. So it shouldn’t surprise us that head coach Hue Jackson, an offensive mind, wants his quarterback.
