I think it's all big media smokescreen to get people pumped for the draft tonight. "Will the Browns screw it up?" is a sure way to keep interest at a high level.
Garrett will be the pick, and the Browns will trade back into the top five to get Trubisky. They'll give up #12, #33, and a 2nd rounder next year.
What I don't get is that if Trubisky isn't expected to play, why trade up for him?
My take is that next draft, the top 5/6 teams will be:
Rams/49ers/Browns/Bears/Jets/Jags
So, really, not much change from this past season. Why?
NFC East - all solid teams. Don't expect a bottom 5 finish in that division
NFC South - all have a good QB. No reason, barring insane injuries to bottom out
NFC North - Rodgers, Stafford, Bradford should keep the Bears on the bottom
NFC West - Seattle/Arizona the top dogs. QB play will dictate how SF/LA fare.
AFC East - NE and everyone else. Think Gase should continue to help Tannellhill improve. Taylor and the Bills have enough talent to be close to the playoffs. Jets, rebuilding
AFC South - Colts have Luck. Titans on the rise. Houston has a Defense. Jag, everything boils down to their QB. Don't have the confidence in Bortles
AFC North - The big 3 teams there have a QB. Cleveland is Cleveland
AFC West - Raiders and Chiefs top teams. Broncos have defence and need solid QB play. Chargers, have Rivers, and they were decimated by injuries last season.
Can always be a surprise.
But, I wouldn't mortgage that many picks for a Trubisky/Watson. If we are talking about dealing a 3rd and either #12 or #33 to get a Trubisky or Watson later, that makes sense. Otherwise, I'd just wait until next year's draft when the likes of Sam Darnold, Mason Rudolph, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Tanner Magnum are in the draft and I can take one with a top 5 pick.
