Yearning for more Odell Beckham Jr. trade speculation? I’ve got you covered. Bucky Brooks does a pretty thorough breakdown while also doing fits for QB prospects and teams, surprisingly the New York Giants aren’t listed for any of the fits.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer there’s an article titled Hue Jackson has envisioned Myles Garrett and Bradley Chubb together. The most interesting tidbit though was a candid moment from Jackson
“Obviously, as you guys have already pegged it, we’re taking a quarterback, and then here comes the No. 4 pick,” Jackson said. “We need impact football players, period, and that’s part of where we are. So here’s another opportunity to put some impact players on our team that can help us get to winning as fast as we can.’’
The context of this quote doesn’t seem to have any hint of sarcasm as Hue Jackson is someone who has frequently been blunt. This shouldn’t be a surprise even after the Browns have traded for Tyrod Taylor, they have needed a franchise QB for some time and have passed on players like Carson Wentz (by trading out) too often and have seen the Eagles fly to the Superbowl while the Browns stumbled to 1 win in two seasons. The biggest question has been do the Browns love Sam Darnold or do they love Josh Allen, rumors have been abound about them having an affinity for both throughout the process.
