On coming to the Browns after a 1-15 season: “It’s all about stepping stones and stacking little wins”.

But Adair had hopes the Browns would get a whack at Mitchell Trubisky, a quarterback from Mentor leaving the University of North Carolina. The Browns were the first team since Minnesota in 2013 to have three first-round picks. He said teams looking to select a quarterback were calling him about the No. 3 pick and were also interested in the second spot.
Earlier this week, Adam Schefter from ESPN hinted on his official Twitter account that Tennessee Titans is reportedly considering trading the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL Draft 2017.
The 49ers traded from No. 2 to No. 3 and picked Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Playing close to his home in the Midwest, Trubisky will develop into one of the NFL’s top QBs and lead the Bears back to the playoffs within three years.
“I think that experience helps me a lot for this situation”, he said.
The Browns drafted Garrett to disrupt opposing passers, and that’s what it’s going to take to change Roethlisberger’s luck against Cleveland.
This feels so much like either an ownership move or one done in recklessness by general manager Ryan Pace. Cleveland Browns (via trade with Packers): David Njoku, Tight End (Miami) 30.

With a chance to get Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson at No. 12, the Browns sent that pick to Houston for the No. 25 selection and the Texans’ first-round pick in 2018.
“I couldn’t get that explosiveness, that step past the offensive tackle like I wanted, or that step to the left when I am trying to go to the guard”, he said. It included moving up to take outside linebacker Leonard Floyd at No. 9 and going back twice in the second round.
“It is me as a kid”, Garrett said.

Until the first kickoff in September against the Atlanta Falcons, fans will have to wait and see how this year will unfold. With the fifth-round pick, the Browns chose receiver Jordan Payton.
