With just a few hours to go before the NFL Draft, rumors have started to swirl that the Cleveland Browns could select North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky with the first overall pick. It’s a bit of a change from recent days where Trubisky was believed to be an option for the Browns’ second pick in the first round.
The speculation largely began yesterday when ESPN’s Adam Schefter released a video about the rumblings he’d been hearing on Trubisky going in the top spot. Schefter doesn’t think the Browns are likely to try and trade up with their 12th overall selection to try and get Trubisky earlier with their second pick, and said he continued to hear Trubisky was “square in consideration” to be the top pick.
