12. Cleveland Browns (via PHI)

12. player. 53. The Cleveland Browns have more flexibility in this draft than any team thanks to their trade maneuvers from a year ago. They could freely take a top talent like Myles Garrett #1, knowing they had another 1st rounder ready to grab them a potential franchise quarterback. Robert Griffin III was a failed experiment. Cody Kessler is a backup. This team needs somebody they can build around and can lead them out of the pits. <p>Leading is something Deshaun Watson knows a lot about. He guided Clemson through back-to-back national championship appearances and crowned his tremendous college career with a title victory over Alabama. He’s athletic, intelligent and makes big plays happens. Throw in a massive amount of leadership and that sounds like the makings of an NFL starter. Word is the Browns have really liked him. Now they get to find out why.</p>. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson
