There hasn’t been much change to the top 10 in terms of pecking order but this latest 2017 NFL mock draft reflects a major shift in team needs.

Some teams no longer can ignore their acute quarterback concerns while others are content knowing that this class is filled with a lot of question marks. There are plenty of top talents at other positions though, which makes the early selections quite fascinating to watch. None more so than the #1 pick. Will Cleveland throw a curveball?

1. Cleveland Browns

53. The temptation to just grab the best player available will be real for the Cleveland Browns. They want to think Cody Kessler has a legitimate chance to be a starter for them, but this is reality. He was a 6th round pick for a reason. There are deficiencies that no amount of scheming can mask with him. To say nothing of the health concerns as well. Cleveland needs a quarterback. There is no argument to that. Yes, they’ve whiffed on 1st round picks before, but that doesn’t mean they should stop. <p>Mitch Trubisky is the hot name in most circles of late, and with good reason. The North Carolina standout has shown himself to be arguably the most complete prospect at that position. He’s got the size, athleticism and mobility to run. His arm is strong enough to make throws down the field and he demonstrates good touch and accuracy. His biggest drawback thus far is experience. It’s his first year starting. So the coaches will have to be careful with how much they put on his plate.</p>. QB. North Carolina. Mitch Trubisky . 1. player
