The Cleveland Browns are on the clock with the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, which which runs April 27-29 in Philadelphia.

Cleveland will have a chance to assess its options at the NFL Scouting Combine from Feb. 28-March 6 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and the pressure is on after a 1-15 season in Hue Jackson's first year as head coach. The Browns need to find a sense of direction with this year's pick and take advantage of those draft selections.

There isn't a slam-dunk No. 1 pick in this year's draft, so the Browns have several options at the top. Cleveland hasn't actually made a top-five pick since 2012, when they grabbed Trent Richardson at No. 3. Cleveland also has the No. 12 pick in the first round, so there's always the possibility of a trade.

That leaves a lot on the table. Here's a look at 10 possible options for the Browns at No. 1.

1. Draft Myles Garrett, DE/OLB, Texas A&M

Pro: This is the best option as of now. Garrett is considered the top pick across several mock drafts — including Sporting News — and he's a 6-5, 270-pound freak pass rusher off the edge who had 31 career sacks with Texas A&M. Keep in mind what AP Defensive Rookie of the Year Joey Bosa did for San Diego in 2016. Garrett could have that kind of impact. Quarterback also wouldn't be a question if the Browns get a chance to pursue Buffalo's Tyrod Taylor.

Con: Garrett said on Dec. 27 he'd "like not to go anywhere cold." Well, it's cold in Cleveland. Very cold. Drafting Garrett would bring inevitable comparisons to Penn State's Courtney Brown, who the Browns took No. 1 in 2000. Brown had 17 sacks over five seasons with Cleveland.

2. Draft Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

Pro: Trubisky waited his turn at North Carolina, and he finished with 30 TDs and just six interceptions. Trubisky played his high school ball in Mentor, Ohio, and is a life-long Browns fan. He wants to go to Cleveland, and that's going to evoke comparisons to Bernie Kosar. Is Trubisky the Browns' quarterback savior?

Con: Trubisky played just one season as a starter at North Carolina, and he's been lumped in with Deshaun Watson and DeShone Kizer as possible first-round picks. Yet none of those quarterbacks are a slam-dunk at No. 1, and that's not what a franchise that has become a punch line because of the number of quarterbacks who have played since 1999 — when they drafted Tim Couch at No. 1 — wants to hear.

3. Trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, New England

Pro: It likely wouldn't cost the No. 1 pick, but the Browns could probably offer the No. 12 pick for Garoppolo, who reportedly has generated interest from multiple teams. If the Browns go here, that means Robert Griffin III's days in Cleveland are numbered. Garoppolo has learned as a backup the last three seasons behind Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers did just fine after three years behind Brett Favre.

Con: Cleveland goes into another season with another quarterback and even more questions. What combination of draft picks would it take to get a backup quarterback? Would the No. 1 pick be involved somehow? Would the Browns really give all that up to the Patriots?

4. Draft Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Pro: You saw the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Watson led Clemson to a 35-31 victory. He was the best player in college football the last two seasons, and he's a dynamic playmaker and a fantastic team leader. Dabo Swinney says, "They pass on Deshaun Watson, they're passing on Michael Jordan."

Con: It doesn't seem that easy, and how Watson's game translates to the NFL is still a valid question. Watson threw 30 interceptions the last two seasons. If the Browns can get Watson at No. 12, however, then it might be that slam dunk they are looking for.

5. Draft Jonathan Allen, DE/DT, Alabama

Pro: Allen has been well-schooled at Alabama under Nick Saban and would've been a top 15 pick last year. He can play defensive end and defensive tackle and would be an excellent piece for new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to build around. He's a safe pick and lead-by-example-type player.

Con: Is "safe" worthy of the No. 1 pick? Allen is 6-3 and 291 pounds. He's a converted outside linebacker, and he might have to bulk up to play inside in the NFL.

6. Trade down for more picks

Pro: The Browns traded the No. 2 pick to Philadelphia last year, traded the No. 4 pick to Buffalo in 2014 and traded the No. 6 pick to Atlanta in 2011. Cleveland also has that No. 12 pick, so this is another opportunity to stock-pile talent.

Con: It's always a good idea to have more draft picks, but in those three instances, the Browns have become more recognized for the player that was drafted in that spot, whether it was Carson Wentz (2016), Sammy Watkins (2014) or Julio Jones (2011). That would be amplified if the No. 1 pick the Browns let get away becomes a star.

7. Draft Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford

Pro: Thomas, a 6-3, 271-pound defensive end, is rising up draft boards after an impressive season with the Cardinal. He had 24.5 sacks the last two seasons, including 14 in 2016. He was dominant in the Hyundai Sun Bowl victory against North Carolina.

Con: There aren't a lot of cons to drafting Thomas, who appears to be a solid pro in the making despite just two full seasons at Stanford. That might be it. He might not be an instant-impact player in the NFL, and the same comparisons to Brown would be there again.

8. Draft Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama

Pro: Foster and Allen were the best players on the best defense in college football last season. Foster is a hard-hitting difference maker at linebacker who plays with an edge. He had 115 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and five sacks last season. He's yet another ready-to-play difference maker from Alabama.

Con: It's a rarity for a linebacker to be selected No. 1, and that list includes Chuck Bednarik (1949), Tommy Nobis (1966), Tom Cousineau (1979) and Aundray Bruce (1988). The Browns probably wouldn't be this bold with that pick ... unless they think they are getting a Bednarik in return.

9. Draft Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State

Pro: This would be a wild-card pick. Hooker was a big-time playmaker in the secondary for Ohio State. He showed tremendous range with seven interceptions and three pick sixes last season. He's a Buckeye, too, which is a bonus with the fans.

Con: It's probably not going to happen. Hooker had only one year as a full-time starter at Ohio State. He's a top 10 pick, but he might not be the No. 1 pick. A defensive back hasn't been selected No. 1 since 1956. This isn't the year for that.

10. Draft an impact running back

Pro: Two running backs — LSU's Leonard Fournette and Florida State's Dalvin Cook — were unbelievable difference makers at the college level and could spice up the offense. Isaiah Crowell led the Browns with 952 yards and seven TDs in 2016. A running back hasn't been drafted No. 1 since the Bengals took Ki-Jana Carter in 1995, but look at the impact Ezekiel Elliott made after the Cowboys drafted him at No. 4 in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Con: The Richardson scars are still there, and Elliott has the NFL's best offensive line in front of him. The Browns probably can't draft a running back and No. 1 at live with it, so if either one is available at No. 12, that's a better play.
