4. Cleveland Browns (via PHI)

53. The Browns are in better position than any other team to remake the face of their franchise in one bold swing. They already acquired a franchise pass rusher at #1 overall. Thanks to their trade with Philadelphia, they are likely to have another top 10 pick. This puts them in ideal position to possibly move up to grab the quarterback they so desperately need. Robert Griffin III and Cody Kessler aren’t the answers. <p>A lot is going to happen before the draft in the next few months. Don’t be surprised when Deshone Kizer reemerges as the overall favorite to be the first QB taken. He’s probably the most talented of the bunch with a big body, strong arm and the ability to run. Beyond that though it will be discussed how little help he got from Notre Dame this past year and how productive he still managed to be. That’s the sign of a player who didn’t let difficult circumstances stop him from doing his best.</p>. QB. Notre Dame. Deshone Kizer . 4. player
