The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is one week away. Before we all know it, the NFL draft will be here as well. Browns nation has been talking about what new general manager Andrew Berry will do with the 10th overall pick. Yet, Days 2 and 3 could just as important for Berry and his staff.

In later rounds, Andrew Berry could look at selecting a quarterback the team can develop into a long-term backup for Baker Mayfield. The 24-year-old Mayfield is the Browns starting quarterback and that’s not going to change anytime soon. But it’s not the worst idea in the world to find someone that can back him up and come in to try and keep things afloat if Baker were to get injured or something happened to him.

Here are three options at potential quarterback targets:

Bryce Perkins, UVA

Perkins can bring athleticism style to the QB position. In 2019 he rushed for 769 yards and 11 touchdowns. Perkins has also shown the ability that he can be steady passer as well. He completed 64.4 % of his passes in 2019. He threw 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Athleticism and accuracy are part of a recipe for success in the NFL. It gives teams a different look. Perkins could turn into a serviceable/long-term backup quarterback in the NFL. He has plenty of room for growth.

Kelly Bryant, Mizzou

A quarterback that was once viewed as the next DeShaun Watson for Clemson. Then came Trevor Lawrence who beat out the veteran quarterback which then led to Bryant landing Missouri. In 10 games with Mizzou, Bryant threw 15 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He had a completion percentage of 62%. He has rushed for 17 touchdowns from 2015-2019. He has sneaky athleticism but isn’t going to be the fastest quarterback.

Like Perkins, Bryant has plenty of growth in his game overall. But playing five years of college ball could benefit him to have an easier learning curve in the NFL.

Anthony Gordon, Washington State

Here is a guy that hasn’t been talked about much but may actually be an earlier pick than most expect. Gordon was in the air-raid offense ran by my Mike Leach at Washington State. He had a tremendous amount of success statistically there. In 13 games, he completed 71.6% of his throws He ranked 2nd passing yards at 5,579, and also 2nd with 48 touchdowns, also throwing 16 interceptions. Needless to say, his stats are impressive.

Gordon may be more advanced in the passing game than most quarterbacks in the 2020 draft. This may be reach for Browns as someone who can be long-term option. In other words, a team like the Chargers, Patriots, Raiders may select Gordon as someone who can replace their current starting quarterbacks.
