The Cleveland Browns could potentially solve their quarterback issues with the No. 2 pick in next month's NFL Draft.
But then again, they could also bolster the offensive line with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter.
Carter is widely considered to be the best player available in the upcoming draft that's not a quarterback. But he does have some hot takes on the quarterback position.
"Those great defensive players, you look in the history, they can impact the game just as much as a quarterback," Carter said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. "There's been defensive players who've taken over a game right at the end of Super Bowl in those playoffs scenes where you really need that great defensive player and he also makes people around him better.
"So I feel like just saying that, seeing how defensive players can take over a game, we're just like a quarterback."
While Miami quarterback Cam Ward is expected to go No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans, no one seems to know what Cleveland is thinking with the No. 2 picks. Before the NFL Scouting Combine, it seemed like Colorado's Shedeur Sanders was a lock to go to the Browns with the pick.

But that thinking has shifted, as Cleveland doesn't seem so high on Sanders as before.
