CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With the NFL draft just hours away, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is still the likely pick for the Browns at No. 1.

Speculation over the last 24 hours, including some by ESPN's Adam Schefter, has pointed to North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky being the top pick, but the Browns have continued to try to trade up into the top eight, presumably to draft Trubisky, and have indicated they're still set to take Garrett first overall.

The top brass will meet again this afternoon to solidy their plans.

Head of football operations Sashi Brown told NFL Network's Mike Silver on Wednesday that he's known the pick for two weeks, and Brown told ESPN's Josina Anderson that the Browns are looking for a game-changer at No.1. That says Garrett, not Trubisky, who will need time to develop.

"You want to make sure that you get a player (at No. 1) that's going to be an impact player and that we can count on,'' Brown told ESPN.

Schefter said on Wednesday that he wouldn't be surprised if Garrett is still the first player off the board, but "I have got very smart, very well-connected people telling me over the last 24 hours that they think Trubisky's going to be the No. 1 pick."

But that's not expected to happen. The Browns have been working the phones and will continue to try to work a deal for Trubisky in the top 10 after taking Garrett at No. 1. They have the No. 12, No. 33 and No. 52 overall picks.

But they won't panic or overspend to get him. Brown told NFL Network on Wednesday "we're not desperate for a quarterback.''

Trubisky could go as high as No. 2 to the 49ers. If he's around at No. 5 or No. 6, the Browns could try to jump up there to land him.

If they don't draft Trubisky, they will consider Clemson's Deshaun Watson and Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes at No. 12. The Browns could also trade back up into the late first round from No. 33 to draft a QB.

They've also got three second-round picks in 2018 with which to wheel and deal.

Ultimately, they're set to land their "generational'' pass-rusher with the top pick and their quarterback of the future with their next selection.

If all goes as planned, the Browns will transform their defense and offense in the first round of what Brown has described as a "momentous draft.''
