There is a lot of smoke out there about the Browns trading up. I just don't buy it. I believe of the QBs, Trubisky is the best fit for Hue and his vision of a QB.
Hue Jackson wants someone 6'2 or taller, big hands, accurate with arm talent, football smart with good decision making, must be a leader, and must have functional mobility to run out of trouble or a boot. Trubisky checks all those boxes so I do believe the interest in him is genuine. I'm not sure it's trade up in the 1st round genuine.
I am confident based on what I understand of the Browns in total, that they will NOT trade up for Deshaun Watson. Watson is just barely 6'2, is not accurate, does not have a strong arm, and has had a history of making bad decisions throwing the football. He's got big hands, he is an unquestioned leader with big game experience and has plus mobility. I can see them intrigued by him because they feel his arm strength can improve as he gets older and changes mechanics but the decision making has to scare them. I think there is no chance they trade up for him.
