Cleveland Browns 2017 Mock Draft: Complete Seven Rounds
108. Brad Kaaya, Quarterback, 4th round pick 1, Miami
With eleven picks, why not take two quarterbacks. I always like the players with the high early season projections. Before this year started, Kaaya was projected in the top fifteen by many analyst.

Cleveland has been desperate for a quarterback since coming back into the league in 1999, and picking two might be the thing to do. It was a good Idea in Washington the year they drafted RG3 and Kirk Cousins.
Kaaya is an old-school talent that most scouts will overthink due to athletic limitations and being underweight. He is a good field leader, but needs to work on his deep ball. Kaaya works well from the pocket, as well his reeds after the ball is snapped.
He will have to work on his eye movement at the next level, he also needs to add at least fifteen pounds to be able to stay healthy as a pro. The Browns would be excited to have Kaaya in the quarterback room with this pick.
142. Ryan Switzer, WR 4th round pick 36, UNC
With Analytics driving the ship, Switzer is a dream at this pick. Most scouts have him anywhere from the third, to the fifth round. With lack of size and great athleticism Switzer isn’t an early round talent, but his production is off the charts!
Switzer has great hands, is a great route runner and has sneaky athletic talent. His ceiling isn’t through the roof, but teams are going to be most impressed with how high his floor is. Switzer will be a great locker room presence and will get on the field early and often. He is blue collar type player in a blue collar town.
