5 NFL teams that should draft Lamar Jackson in 2018

4. Cleveland Browns

When do the Cleveland Browns not need a quarterback? They have gone through six different ones in the 2016 season, even though they signed Robert Griffin III and drafted Cody Kessler with their third round pick. Just about every player they have used at this position hasn’t been able to stay on the field, so yet another quarterback could eventually come into the fold.

If the Browns choose to go into 2017 with RGIII, again and letting Kessler develop, then this could put them in play for Lamar Jackson in 2018. That would be if the former USC star doesn’t take a significant step forward as a future stalwart for this lowly franchise.

Bringing in Jackson would give Cleveland maybe their most exciting quarterback prospect since returning to the NFL in 1999. He would immediately become their face of the franchise and someone to hopefully build around. “Hope” has been the keyword for this team for nearly two decades, though, as they have dealt with their fair share of draft busts, especially at quarterback (Tim Couch, Brandon Weeden, Johnny Manziel).

The Louisville star would make this team exciting and actually worth the watch for the first time in years. He would bring media hype and a new look to this stagnant franchise, which has undergone so many changes in recent seasons. Jackson could finally be the piece that brings everything together and turns this team around.

However, the Browns have a knack for making poor decisions, grooming players improperly, and doing things that make fans scratch their heads. As foolish as it may sound, not using logic could take the Browns out of the Lamar Jackson hunt in 2018.
