Matt Miller Bleacher Report:
5.) The Pick: QB Jared Goff, California
No more messing around, Cleveland. It's time to draft a franchise quarterback.
Jared Goff isn't perfect. He's not the Andrew Luck- or Peyton Manning-level prospect some want him to be. But he has rare poise and footwork in the pocket and very good accuracy all over the field. His arm strength won't wow you and he won't rush for big gains, but the Browns have too often passed over the smart quarterback for the exciting one (Johnny Manziel over Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr?).
It's time to make the smart move, draft a rock-solid quarterback they can truly build around and start thinking long-term for a change.
36.) WR Tyler Boyd, Pitt
68.) DL Charles Tapper, Oklahoma
Rob Rang CBS Sports:
3.) Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis: The Browns' annual top 10 selection is likely to continue until a franchise quarterback is found. Lynch is flying up draft boards as scouts are enamored with his combination of size (listed at 6-feet-7, 230 pounds), mobility and arm talent. He has made steady progress throughout his career and may be just scratching the surface of his potential.

3.) Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis: The Browns are desperate to find the right answer at quarterback and will be doing their homework on all the passers in the 2016 class. Lynch has the size, athleticism and arm talent that translates well to the pro game and he continues to get better with added experience.

7.) Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
The Browns weren't in position to draft a quarterback in my previous mock, but they definitely are now - and it definitely helps that there currently appear to be three top-10 signal-caller prospects again in the wake of Paxton Lynch's amazing season.
We haven't spoken to our NFL sources about Lynch yet, but unless he struggles to close out the year, I have to believe that he'll grade out as a top-10 prospect. Even if he doesn't, teams get desperate and reach for quarterbacks. The Browns obviously need one, as Johnny Manziel is an idiot who has no future (or present) in the NFL.
37.) William Fuller, WR, Notre Dame
The Browns have to use an early-round pick on a receiver eventually, right? They can't keep going with retreads.
68.) Joshua Perry, DE/OLB, Ohio State
It wouldn't hurt if the Browns added another pass-rusher, given that their edge players all are having issues getting to the quarterback this season.
These are the most recent updated mocks. I'll update with a new post as the mock drafts update.
