Since almost the beginning of 2017, USC’s Sam Darnold has garnered attention to be 2018’s top overall pick. With the Browns once again in the driver’s seat for this draft, Darnold has been linked to Cleveland since the season’s end.
After finishing 0-16 in 2017, and 1-31 under Hue Jackson overall, the Browns are in need of a major pick-me-up. A good leader for a young team, along with an electric playmaker, and a quarterback with a good mix of floor and ceiling as a player.
Of course, that seems to be Darnold in this class. But…why?
