You know that unless something unbelievable happens, the Browns, with new General Manager John Dorsey and head coach Hue Jackson working together and … ahem, not against one another, will take a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Browns have needed a franchise quarterback since halfway through the 1993 season when Bernie Kosar was unceremoniously cut.

In addition, Dorsey, upon being hired last week, was told by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam that his No. 1 task is finding a quarterback.

And then there’s the fact that Jackson is known as the quarterback whisperer.

Along with all this, you know what I think about sportsillustrated.com’s Peter King, the best NFL writer on the planet – and it’s not even close.

Let’s combine the two – that is, the Browns’ desperate need to get a passer and King’s ability to analyze pro football so well. When you do, you see an interesting opinion on tthe quarterback class, as explained by King in his popular “Monday Morning Quarterback” column on Monday. It was item No. 4 in the segment entitled, “Ten Things I Think I Think.”

Here we go:

“I think NFL teams will not have learned very much (surprise!) if Heisman winner Baker Mayfield is the fifth quarterback taken in the April draft. Or fourth. Mayfield is about 6-foot-¼, and scouts worry about his size. Let’s go back to 2012. Fourth QB picked: Brandon Weeden. Fifth QB picked: Brock Osweiler. Sixth QB picked: Russell (5-10¾) Wilson. Height, schmeight. Watch the games.”

Is Oklahoma’s Mayfield, the flag-planter and a grabber of himself on the sideline, the second coming of Johnny Manziel? Is it safer to take Sam Darnold of USC, Josh Rosen of crosstown rival UCLA and the successor to Jared Goff, or another Josh, as in Allen, who, in being big and from off-the-beaten-path Wyoming, reminds some of Carson Wentz?

That’s what the Browns have to figure out, and they have to get it right.
