The Browns seem comfortable with the guys currently on the roster, after passing on Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson in the draft. They did take DeShone Kizer in the second round, but no one expects him to be the starter in Week 1. He’ll compete with Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Kevin Hogan with the best player winning the job. Unfortunately, none of those guys has a particularly stacked NFL…
