Travis Hunter NFL Draft photo
With the draft now becoming the primary focus for more than half the teams in the league, there are several conclusions I've come to about the conversations Cleveland's front office is going to have.

First, the Browns roster is too talented to be picking this high and a lack of consistency at the quarterback position is a primary reason for that. Also, this is not the draft to be desperate for a quarterback. That puts Andrew Berry in quiet the pickle, and the conversation gets even more complicated with the latest news of Deshaun Watson's setback.

The fact is, teams reach on quarterbacks all the time and there have been years where Cleveland refused to do so, only to regret it. Anyone remember the Browns passing Aaron Rodgers for Braylon Edwards with a 33-year old Trent Dilfer penciled into the starting lineup. Mind you, that was a year after they selected Kellen Winslow Jr. over Ben Roethlesberger with a 34-year old Jeff Garcia on the roster.

Are Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders expected to garner a similar grades to Rodgers or Big Ben coming out of college? No, but it's still tough to pass on improving the most important position on the team when it's a clear weakness.

However, I just don't know if I could justify passing on a prospect like Travis Hunter at two for a quarterback with a fringe first-round grade at best.... or Abdul Carter, Mason Graham or Will Johnson at that. Whether it's a veteran like Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, moving down or trading back into round one with the 33rd pick, there has to be a better way to navigate obtaining a quarterback that doesn't include passing on one of the few premier prospects in this class.

BROWNS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
