It sounds utterly insane to think about. The Chicago Bears draft Myles Garrett. There is just no way. It’s impossible this day and age that a talent of that caliber somehow falls from his rightful place at #1 overall to #3. Yet fans were involuntarily thrust into that dream state when Adam Schefter of ESPN dropped a bomb on social media.
According to his sources, the Cleveland Browns are holding an internal wrestling match in regards to what they want to do with the top pick. The front office wants to go with Garrett. However, head coach Hue Jackson believes they must take this opportunity to get a top quarterback. Preferably Ohio-native Mitch Trubisky, whom he reportedly loves.
Just had an NFL exec tell me, "Don't be surprised if Myles Garrett isn't the No. 1 pick." Exec convinced a QB is in discussion at No. 1.

Cleveland has not made up its mind at No. 1, per source. Split opinions. Some like Myles Garrett, some like Mitchell Trubisky. We will see.

This centers around the fear that Trubisky will be long gone by the time the Browns pick again at #12 overall. This would indicate they don’t like the other quarterbacks in the class. Also given their own weak state at the position, it can’t be surprising that this argument is taking place. It would be a Browns thing to do, passing up a proven talent for a major gamble on a quarterback.
