According to several reports there’s a decent chance the Cleveland Browns pick UNC QB Mitch Trubisky #1 overall in the draft tonight.

Mitch Trubisky is still under serious consideration by the Browns at No. 1, league sources tell cleveland.com.
Despite that Browns head of football operations Sashi Brown gave strong vibes during his pre-draft press conference Wednesday that the Browns have zeroed in on Myles Garrett, they’re still strongly considering taking Trubisky there, sources say.
The feeling on the part of the front office, sources say, is that the Browns are ready to draft their quarterback of the future and might not want to risk losing him if they try to trade up or hope he falls to them at No. 12.
Sources have told cleveland.com that the 49ers also like Trubisky and might take him at No. 2. “Don’t be surprised,” said one.
Even if Trubisky doesn’t get picked by the Browns many scouts have him as the top QB in the draft which doesn’t sit well with former Clemson QB DeShaun Watson.
QB Deshaun Watson respects all prospects but told me it'd be a "slap in the face" if Mitchell Trubisky went 1st gvn his championship resume.

Watson might have to get ready to get “slapped in the face” because it really looks like team’s are enamored with Trubisky.
