53. Cleveland Browns HC Hue Jackson has already expressed his team’s need to address the QB position. But of course, not at the expense of having a transcendent talent like Myles Garrett on the team. So they wait on until No. 12 overall to strike at the position with DeShaun Watson. <p>Jackson was enamoured with Mitch Trubisky for a while but that was before the bowl game. He was awful against Stanford just like he was early in the season against Georgia. What those two teams have in common is a pass rush and pro style defenses Trubisky couldn’t read.</p> <p>He could be taught that but you can’t teach being cool under the rush and making a nice throw. You also can’t teach stepping up for your team on the big stage and when your team needs you most. Jackson is a QB whisperer that can teach Watson everything he needs to know about being a QB.</p> <p>He just needs that guy that nothing is too big for and has the mental toughness to stay with it. He’ll get that in Watson and in time, the Browns will finally get back on top. The Browns use the pick they got from the Eagles to get what they passed up in 2016—a franchise QB.</p>. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson. 12. player
