Browns, 49ers, and Bears ALL need a QB. Browns really like Mitch Trubisky, he fits Hue's offense. 49ers all depends on whether they think Kizer fits their team. DeShaun Watson is also a candidate who I've seen mocked anywhere from top 5 to the 2nd round. Bears need a QB, but they also have a pretty bad secondary and this is a good secondary class.

Jets don't need a pass rusher, nor do the Jaguars.

So Bengals could get either Garrett or Barnett. Garrett is the better overall player, but Barnett is REALLY good and would help this lack luster defensive line actually shine.

Also, we don't need more draft picks. We're going to get comp picks for Jones, Nelson, Sanu, and Smith. That's 4 right there, and we're going to get at least one 3rd rounder.

I wasn't necessarily talking about this year, though I agree we'll have plenty of picks. It was more in reference towards the future. Usually there's one team who gets crazy and will mortgage off future picks to hop up. Garrett or Barnett would be great at our pick. There's just no pressure on the outside and without that, the secondary gets left out to dry from time to time. 

Also...Mitch Trubisky as a number one overall pick is absolutely terrifying. Who would've seen that coming a few months ago? I'm glad we don't have to draft a QB right now, because it seems like such a crap shoot. You just never really know about these guys.

All that said, talent is talent for right now, and with our record we could use all that we can get. Hopefully these last few weeks will be used to get looks at who will be around next year.
