Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas seems to have a preference if the team decides to look at a quarterback in April’s NFL Draft.
Thomas praised North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, believing him to have the most potential to grow into a pro-style offense.
“I know that Mitchell Trubisky is probably the guy that has the most upside potential in a pro-style offense in the NFL, and I don’t see those other guys as obvious fits in NFL offenses,” Thomas told 92.3 The Fan on Thursday, via Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. “So if you’re going to take a guy, he might be your guy you want to take. With that being said, I think he’s only started for a year, so he’s got a lot of improvement to make before he is ready to be the starting quarterback.”
It had previously been reported that Trubisky was under consideration for the No. 1 pick, but that pick looks earmarked for Myles Garrett. If Trubisky is still around when the Browns pick at No. 12, they’ll have an interesting decision to make.
