CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns are conducting a private workout on the road today with Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, league sources tell cleveland.com.

The private session comes one day before the Browns will host Mentor, Ohio native Mitch Trubisky and other local prospects at the Browns facility in Berea for workouts and visits.

Only the local prospects, those who have gone to high school or college in the surrounding area, are permitted to work out for the Browns when they visit the facility.

The other 30 prospects who come to town can only interview, get checked medically, spend time in the meeting rooms and dine with team officials.

The private workouts for non-local prospects are usually conducted at the player's college, near their hometown, or wherever they're training to prepare for the draft.

The workouts on Thursday and Friday with Watson and then North Carolina's Trubisky will put the finishing touches on the private sessions with the top four QB prospects in the draft.

The Browns have already had one-on-one sessions with Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Notre Dame's Deshone Kizer, a native of Toledo. They've also conducted a private workout with probable No. 1 pick Myles Garrett.

The Browns skipped all of the QBs' pro days over the past few weeks and that of Garrett Thursday to focus on the private workouts instead. They're set to take Garrett No. 1 overall, but will consider a quarterback with their No. 12 pick.

Sashi Brown said Wednesday that he'll 'stay aggressive' when it comes to acquiring a quarterback, meaning the Browns will likely consider trading up from No. 12 to land one of the top prospects.

Sources said the Browns have Trubisky ranked ahead of the others, but that could change as these private workouts unfold.

As for Watson, is Jackson having a hard time ranking the Clemson star given experts have a wide range of opinions on his prospects?

"I think all these guys that you guys have mentioned this far are very talented,'' Jackson said at the NFL owners meeting Tuesday. "We've just got to continue to see and spend time with them and see where they fit for us. All those guys are going to be on somebody's team. Every last one of them are going to get drafted.

"How fast they play, the success they have, what their career looks like is all going to be determined by where they go and what the systems are and what the fits are. It's not a question if they're good enough to play. It's is it the right fit for you."

Jackson acknowledged that the Browns haven't finalized their QB rankings.

"I don't think we're totally done with it yet,'' he said. "We're still working through all that to see how close they are. Whatever we've done with one group, we want to make sure we do with them all. ... But I don't know that one guy separates himself from the other as much. We'll find out as we go. Hopefully somebody will. That would make it easier as you look at it."

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks said Watson's ability to win -- especially in big games -- separates him from the others.

"The big thing for him is that he brings all of the other stuff to the table, the intangibles, the pedigree, the fact that he plays well in big games,'' Brooks said after Watson's Pro Day two weeks ago. "Coaches like that and I think that may give him a nod over the other guys at his position.''

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, a noted quarterback expert like Jackson, said Wednesday that only one of the prospects in this draft is ready to start right away, but he didn't say who. He seemed to rule out Trubisky, however, when saying its bugs him that he wasn't able to win the job in his first two seasons at North Carolina and has only started 13 games.

Some evaluators question Watson's arm talent, which is one of the biggest factors on Jackson's list.

"I think people are split,'' said NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah. "When you talk to people around the league, you have your Watson camp, your Trubisky camp and even Mahomes. I thought (Watson) was the best clearly at the combine, but ... I would label [his pro day] a good workout, not a great workout."

NFL Network's Mike Mayock was impressed with Watson.

"One caution: like most spread quarterbacks, his accuracy is tied to his feet,'' Mayock said. "His feet are a work in progress. This is a kid you really want to work for. He's a bright-eyed kid who plays his best football under the bright lights."

Watson, who led Clemson to a comeback national title victory over Alabama, stressed that his biggest selling point is winning.

"Being 48-8 in high school and winning a state championship and then going to the collegiate level and being 33-3," Watson said at the combine, "so one thing that translates from college to the NFL is winners and I think, being a quarterback, that's the biggest thing being recognized, winning games. That's all I've been doing."
