NFL Mock Draft: Week 16

With every Philadelphia Eagles loss, the Cleveland Browns get closer to drafting two players in the first ten picks of next April’s Draft. The Browns will likely go defense at No. 1, as players like Myles Garrett and Jonathan Allen may be too good to pass up. After watching Robert Griffin III this past weekend, there is a serious need to upgrade the quarterback position, and they may just do it at No. 7.

While Mitch Trubisky is likely to be the first quarterback off of the board on draft day, expect DeShone Kizer to hear his name shortly after if the Browns continue to inch up the draft board. Kizer has already declared for the NFL Draft, and most experts say he has the best physical attributes of all the quarterbacks in this draft.

Cleveland may decide to roll with Cody Kessler next season, though Hue Jackson and the front office may decide to take a swing and bring in someone like Tony Romo if available. Whatever happens, they need to upgrade the position, and drafting a player like Kizer would give them the franchise quarterback they need down the road. Only time will tell how he will produce in the pro game, but his physical talent cannot be overlooked by a team with a need at the position.
