Garrett Gilbert of the Cleveland Browns, currently third on the quarterback depth chart behind Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum, represents the ultimate X-factor and longshot. Many sportswriters and fans have their daggers out for him this season, figuring that he should be cut in order to use another roster spot for a position player in what is shaping up to be a deep talent pool this year.
Gilbert was signed as a bottom-dollar free agent after leading the ill-fated Alliance of American Football in most passing categories. Gilbert, who starred at Lake Travis High School, the same high school as Mayfield, has been in the NFL since 2014.
