Note: The Eagles and Colts are tied and will flip a coin for No. 14 and No. 15 at the NFL combine.
1. Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett

The Browns need a quarterback, but with so many other holes to fill on both sides of the ball, it's unlikely they'll reach for someone who isn't worthy of the No. 1 pick.
Rather than take a quarterback out of desperation, the Browns will likely settle on Myles Garrett, who is the consensus No. 1 prospect in this draft class. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller is among those who have already locked Garrett into the top spot on the big board.
It's still early in the process, but the Browns' top front office executives are already doing their homework on Garrett, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter:
The Browns generated just 26 sacks this season, and rookie Emmanuel Ogbah led the team with 5.5. Garrett would immediately impact the Browns' ability to get to the quarterback, potentially teaming up with Ogbah to make that an area of strength for Cleveland's defense in the future.
2. San Francisco 49ers: Reuben Foster

The San Francisco 49ers will once again be wild cards in the draft due to changes to their coaching staff and front office.
The team announced on Sunday that they were parting ways with general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Chip Kelly.
Because so much is unknown about the 49ers' front office and coaching staff, it's difficult to predict what they'll do in the draft. It's possible this could be the year they take a quarterback and move on from Colin Kaepernick, or the new regime could decide to stick with Kaepernick to facilitate a faster rebuilding process.
Assuming the new front office doesn't target a quarterback, Reuben Foster should be high on the 49ers' draft board.
The team has been lacking a leader in the middle of its defense since the retirement of Patrick Willis, and Foster has experience playing a similar role in Nick Saban's defense at Alabama.
3. Chicago Bears: Mitch Trubisky

When NFL general managers get desperate, they reach for a quarterback on draft day. Drafting a quarterback often buys the incumbent general manager and coach another two or three years of job security as they develop their new investment.
Someone will reach for a quarterback this year, and Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace is an excellent candidate.
Pace has watched the Bears get progressively worse during his two years at the helm, and if he doesn't get them trending in an upward direction quickly, he will find himself on the hot seat.
While it might be a reach to take Mitch Trubisky third overall, it's worth pointing out that Chicago is a more favorable landing spot for a young quarterback than Cleveland or San Francisco.
| Browns | 66 |
| 49ers | 47 |
| Bears | 28 |
Both the Browns and 49ers struggled to protect their quarterbacks this season, while the Bears allowed just 28 sacks.
Behind an offensive line featuring Kyle Long and Cody Whitehair, Trubisky would be in a favorable position to learn on the job and potentially develop into the Bears' long-term answer at quarterback.
