Browns land Mitch Trubisky and Myles Garrett
The idea that the Cleveland Browns will look to trade up from No. 12 isn’t new. This is a team that has the draft assets to move up and still have plenty left over to fill its roster with young talent. It’s also a team that needs a quarterback and covets Mitch Trubisky, per reports.
In this scenario, we’re buying the idea that Cleveland is willing to let Myles Garrett slide in favor of Trubisky with the notion that San Francisco would take Garrett at No. 2.
The franchise has reportedly been waffling back and forth over the two players, but a recent interview by ESPN’s Tony Grossi indicates the Browns are being manipulated into a bit of panic about losing Trubisky, and that they would trade up to No. 3 to land Solomon Thomas to ensure they still land their defensive star.
But as you’re about to see in a moment, the 49ers aren’t going to be selecting Garrett at No. 2.
So, with Garrett still on the board, the Browns will push hard to trade up to No. 3 and land Garrett. These two moves would give them a huge boost in terms of fan excitement and plain old talent.
