22. Cleveland Browns (via HOU)

53. Why in the world would the Browns take another quarterback so soon after grabbing DeShone Kizer? The easiest answer is Kizer isn’t a sure thing. Far from it. Until Cleveland actually has a franchise quarterback, they don’t have one. Cody Kessler and Brock Osweiler don’t look promising either. With two 1st rounders again in 2018, they have every reason to keep adding to the most important position on their roster until they get it right. <p>The opinions on Lamar Jackson vary wildly from belief that he’s the Next Big Thing to belief he’ll be shifted to wide receiver for the NFL. In truth he’s got the tools necessary to make a go of it in the NFL. He’s a freak athlete who can put up gaudy stats. What he hasn’t learned is how to play the position in a traditional sense. So that means it would take either patience or a creative offensive coordinator to make it work.</p>. QB. Louisville. Lamar Jackson . 22. player
