CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Coach Hue Jackson of the Cleveland Browns has made no bones about the importance of finding the right quarterback to lead the team going forward.

The right quarterback could arrive via the 2017 NFL Draft in the form of Clemson's Deshaun Watson,

y or possibly Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer.

Or maybe the next Bernie Kosar could show up in a trade for

or in free agency in the form Buffalo's Tyrod Taylor or even Dallas's Tony Romo.

It's also a pretty good bet the right guy won't come from in the building. Robert Griffin III, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan don't appear to have what it takes.

One thing is certain come opening day, someone will start at quarterback for the Browns. Maybe this year, that person will be the right guy for the job.
