However, there has also been talk of the Browns possibly selecting North Carolina's Mitchell Trubisky.
"I don't have any quarterback rated high, but if Cleveland believes Mitchell Trubisky is the guy, and they believe he's going to win a bunch of games for the next 10 years, then why not take him at No. 1? I don't believe it, but if they do, why not pull the trigger at No. 1 and not worry about it?" NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock said.
As for the Tennessee Titans, ESPN's Adam Shefter took to Twitter to share what he has heard from a source. According to the source, the Titans are apparently fielding calls and mulling over trading the No. 5 overall pick.
It remains to be seen if the Titans will actually push through with the decision. Of course, it is also possible that some rumors were purposefully planted in order to drive up the price of the pick. But at this point, everything seems to be possible.
