8. Cleveland Browns (via CAR)
Wyoming. Josh Allen . 8. player. 53. Few teams have more flexibility in the upcoming draft than Cleveland. Trades have collected them several high picks for 2017. That means they could easily take somebody like Garrett #1 and likely make the move back up the board to grab the quarterback everybody agrees that they need. With the college season all but over, names were sure to start rising out of the woodwork. Ones who didn’t get the in-season hype. The Browns are almost certain to be paying attention. <p>Josh Allen is fast becoming a darling of the scouting community. That’s not a surprise. At 6’5″ with a rocket right arm, he looks like the classic prototype teams envision for an NFL starting quarterback. He’s had some good success at Wyoming and shown steady improvement over this past years. There are still fundamental flaws in his game that some are wary of, but most of them are coachable. Hue Jackson is one of the best in the business. Trust him to get that fixed.</p>. QB
