2018 NFL Mock Draft: Could the Cleveland Browns pass on a Quarterback?

With the Senior Bowl just around the corner we are officially in the heart of the 2018 NFL Mock draft season.

The NFL season will soon reach its end and with that everyone will turn their attention to the draft. This means a world full of 2018 NFL Mock Draft updates and analysis. With the First Pick is a site dedicated to the Draft so we have been posting mock drafts all year long.

This updated version features many changes thanks to the updated draft order and getting a final list of the underclassmen who entered the draft. The underclassmen who decided to go back to school also has a major impact on this update.

1. *TRADE* Denver Broncos (via Clev)– Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming

The Browns have a ton of cap space and could realistically throw that money at a veteran quarterback like Kirk Cousins. This would be the quickest way for the team to get out of the basement. It would also allow them to get creative in the draft.

More from With the First Pick

Denver needs a restart at the quarterback position and Josh Allen has the tools to be special. John Elway has made trips to see Allen play and the Broncos will be coaching him at the Senior Bowl.

2. New York Giants– Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA

The Giants need to use this pick to draft their quarterback of the future. That future doesn’t have to be next season as Eli Manning has a few years left in the tank. Rosen is the most NFL ready quarterback and has a ton of upside.

However, Sam Darnold could be the pick if the Giants are comfortable that they can develop him behind Manning.

3. Indianapolis Colts– Bradley Chubb, Edge, NC State

This seems like a slam dunk pick as the Colts desperately need someone who can rush the passer. Chubb is a versatile pass rusher who features a wide-array of pass rush moves. He is someone who could be an instant difference maker.

4. Cleveland Browns (via Hou)- Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State

Barkley is a game changer and someone who provides an instant spark to the offense. He could have a field day working behind the Browns offensive line. His ability to contribute in the passing game is also something that will be of great use.
