A lot of conversations around the Cleveland Browns have been about the quarterback position. While the most recent ones include the idea that the Browns could walk away from the NFL draft with both Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, that option would require a lot of teams to pass on Sanders and/or not trade up to get him before Cleveland would have a shot.

Jalen Milroe started the offseason as a quarterback in which the Browns were rumored to be interested and was included in my latest rumors/predictions. Since then, we’ve covered the Milroe to Cleveland possibilities in a variety of ways:

• Exclusive interview conducted with Milroe by DBN’s Barry Shuck
• Milroe being excited about the Browns but expecting to be “not trying to be a savior”
• QB expert says “tape speaks” for itself with Milroe’s improvement
• Reasons Milroe would be successful in Cleveland
• Milroe among 5 trade up targets in the late 1st round
• Predicting the Browns QB room including Milroe

The reality is that Cleveland’s offense needs more than just a quarterback, needs to invest in skill positions more than they have in the past and needs a prospect better than Baker Mayfield was. Milroe doesn’t solve all of that, but he’s also the quarterback with the most upside with his physical gifts, football IQ and work ethic who could develop into something special.

Based on multiple reports, the Browns continue to be the most likely landing spot for the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback:

We wouldn’t spend as much time on Milroe writeups without some information that Cleveland’s brass is very interested in the quarterback prospect and now we have an official report about how his private workout went with the team (and the New Orleans Saints):

The Browns already had first-hand knowledge about Milroe from OC Tommy Rees. Milroe talked about how much he learned from Rees at Alabama. Now, in their private workout, the rest of Cleveland’s decision makers got a better feel for the Crimson Tide signal caller.

With a little over two weeks left until the NFL draft, rumors will spread like wildfire. The Browns might love to draft Milroe but, as noted in Jordan Shultz’s report, they may not be the only one. A trade up from pick 33 makes some sense, as Daniel Jeremiah noted, to get their quarterback and a fifth-year option on his contract.
