Former UCLA coach Jim Mora says Browns should draft USC's Darnold ahead of Bruins' Rosen

USC's Sam Darnold or UCLA's Josh Rosen, which quarterback should the Cleveland Browns make the NFL's No. 1 overall draft pick?

It's not revolutionary to suggest a team would take Darnold at the top of the draft; he's predicted to go No. 1 in the majority of popular mock drafts. But it's noteworthy that Mora would lean his direction.

However, after Rosen's pro day two weeks ago, Mora lavished praise on the UCLA standout in an interview with The Times.

"I think he'll be excellent. He's very bright, and he's really matured in his time at UCLA," Mora said.
