One of the biggest questions for the 2017 NFL Draft: Where will the top quarterbacks be picked?
There are several teams with high picks in this year’s NFL Draft in need of quarterbacks, including the Browns at No. 1 and the 49ers at No. 2. This year’s quarterback crop is not considered terribly strong, though.
The top quarterbacks in this year’s draft are, with relative consensus, North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer and Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes.
In NJ.com’s latest 2017 NFL mock Draft, Trubisky goes with the top-overall pick to the Browns. Cleveland desperately needs a quarterback, and they snag a Mentor, Ohio., native who grew up a Browns fans as they aim to end the eternal search for a quarterback.
The Niners pass on a quarterback, taking Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett with the No. 2 pick. Watson then goes off the board at No. 10 to the Bills.
