GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Rosen will be feeling blue if the Browns snag the top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The star UCLA quarterback would prefer to play for the Giants over Cleveland, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, and "would be hesitant to come out in next year's NFL Draft" if the Browns get the No. 1-overall pick as expected.
The Browns and Giants will be strong contenders to take quarterbacks at the top of next year's draft. Rosen is the early favorite to be the No. 1 pick if he declares for the draft.
The Browns (0-14) are currently in position to get the top pick for the second straight year. They will clinch it Sunday with a loss at the Bears or a loss at the Steelers in Week 17. The Giants (2-12) are guaranteed the second pick if they lose out, but they could still get it with one or two wins in the final two weeks of the regular season depending on other results. The Giants play at the Cardinals on Sunday.
From Schefter's report:
UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen would prefer to play for the Giants over the Browns and would be hesitant to come out in next year's NFL draft if he knew that Cleveland was going to take him with the No. 1 overall pick, according to league sources familiar with the situation.
This is hardly the first time that a player has expressed concern about landing in Cleveland, though that will not dissuade new Browns general manager John Dorsey from taking the player he believes is the best fit for his franchise.
Privately, Rosen has expressed concern about winding up in Cleveland and would rather be with a more stable franchise, such as the Giants.
Rosen plans to make a decision with his parents about his future after UCLA plays Kansas State in the Cactus Bowl on Tuesday in nearby Phoenix. Possession of the top pick in the 2018 draft will be determined by New Year's Day (and likely much sooner). Rosen, who has eligibility remaining, has until January 15 to declare early for the draft.
Rosen is currently in concussion protocol and has not been cleared to play in the bowl game, but he told reporters he hopes to play Tuesday.
