Where there's smoke there's fire, and there's been enough smoke around the Browns trading up for Mariota rumor, it makes sense considering one of their QB's is Josh McCown and the other is in rehab. Here's the trade offer, the Browns trade Alex Mack (who's certainly opting out of his contact next season and publicly praised the Jags organization), the 12th and 19th picks to move up 9 slots to 3, would you take it?

 


<p style="background-color:transparent;">CBS Sports' Dane Brugler notes that he would not be surprised if the Browns trade up for Oregon QB Marcus Mariota.


"The least surprising move on draft day In my opinion? If the Browns trade up for QB Marcus Mariota. Priority No. 1 for the franchise is finding a QB," Brugler tweeted. Mariota admitted back in February that he'd love to be reunited with his old quarterback coach, Kevin O'Connell, who worked with him in anticipation of the combine. O'Connell, who is now the quarterback's coach for the Cleveland Browns, was also Johnny Manziels' pre-draft tutor as well.
