8. Cleveland Browns (via CAR)

This is the equivalent of having your cake and eating it too. Word is the Browns were very interested in Deshaun Watson over the past weeks, especially after his heroic final stretch a few months ago. He’s been a winner at every level and is considered the best leader of the top QBs. It seems too perfect a match, but they couldn’t afford to pass on Garrett at #1. Luckily he slips just close enough for them to make a move up from #12 without breaking the bank in order to get their guy. <p>Watson is an intriguing player. He dominated the college football landscape for two years, posting an impressive numbers while winning a national title. To date he has just three losses total since becoming a starter. That’s outstanding. He has natural charisma, good mechanics, throws an strong ball, has an understanding of how to read defenses and operates with precision in difficult situations. If anybody appears ready for the NFL, it’s him.</p>. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson . 8. player. 53
