8. Cleveland Browns (via CHI)

53. Cleveland got their franchise pass rusher at #1 in Garrett. Now they must be proactive in landing their potential franchise quarterback. This short jump up from #10 to #8 is an insurance move. Keep in mind that Arizona, Buffalo and New Orleans are all within striking distance of the top 10 and all could be in the hunt for a new quarterback. By jumping up a couple spots to grab Deshone Kizer, the Browns don’t leave anything to chance. Especially since they have the picks to spare. <p>Kizer may not be the hot name of the moment but there is a long way to go before the draft. Most still believe his combination of size, arm strength, mobility and intelligence make him the best overall QB in the class. It wasn’t his fault that he was surrounded by mediocre talent and poor coaching at Notre Dame. Hue Jackson is an experienced offensive mind who is good with quarterbacks. He’ll know exactly what to do with Kizer.</p>. QB. Notre Dame. Deshone Kizer . 8. player
