The Browns are reportedly going to take Myles Garrett with the first overall pick. Where does that leave North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky?
Which team will draft Mitchell Trubisky?
Trubisky is expected to be the first quarterback off the board in tonight’s draft.

Fortunately for Trubisky, several teams picking at the top of the order could still be in need of a quarterback. He will most likely come off the board at some point on Thursday evening, probably early in the first round.
Here are the teams who could still be interested in Garrett:
Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan inherited a team without a single quarterback on the roster. The team’s signings of Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley seem like depth moves, which means Trubisky could be in the cards with the second pick.
Chicago signed Mike Glennon, but the team could still use another quarterback on the roster. Plus, drafting a first-round quarterback would be good insurance in case Glennon doesn’t work out and potentially a way for John Fox and Ryan Pace to give themselves more job security if things go south in 2017.
Cleveland Browns
Even if Cleveland doesn’t take Trubisky with the top pick in this year’s draft, the team still holds the No. 12 pick. The Browns could hope Trubisky falls to them at 12, a very possible scenario, or trade up with a team like the Titans to ensure they get the quarterback they believe can be the future of the franchise.
After the team traded Brock Osweiler, it became pretty clear the Texans should be looking for a quarterback. Whether they like Trubisky is anyone’s guess, but they’ll certainly be in the cards as a potential suitor for the former Tar Heel.
