The countdown to the draft has reached single digits. [

And at this point, the number of mock drafts swirling around the Internet is somewhere in the quadruple digits.
With an eye toward next Thursday, here's a look at the latest projections for the Browns at No. 1 and No. 12.
- QB Mitchell Trubisky (UNC)
- S Malik Hooker (Ohio State)
Of note: Reuter is one of the few and only to see the Browns going with a signal-caller at No. 1. It'd be the third straight year and seventh in the last nine a quarterback has been taken with the first pick.
- DE Myles Garrett (Texas A&M)
- TE O.J. Howard (Alabama)
Of note: It'd be the highest a tight end is selected since Eric Ebron went No. 10 to the Lions in 2014.
- Garrett
- WR Corey Davis (Western Michigan)
Of note: Jeremiah envisions the Browns grabbing the second receiver in the draft behind Clemson's Mike Williams, who is projected to land with Tennessee at No. 5.
- Garrett
- QB Deshaun Watson (Clemson)
Of note: Kiper expects Watson to be the second quarterback selected in the draft behind Trubisky, whom he projects to land with the Jets at No. 6.
- Garrett
- Howard
Of note: McShay projects the Browns to pass on a quarterback at No. 12 even though he tabs just one (Watson, No. 7) to be selected before they pick.
- Garrett
- DB Gareon Conley (Ohio State)
Of note: Conley has been a definite riser in the past couple of months. In Miller's mock, he'd be the third Ohio State defensive back to be off the board behind Hooker and Marshon Lattimore.
- Garrett
- Trubisky
Of note: Rang predicts Trubisky to be the first quarterback taken.
- Garrett
- Howard
Of note: Brugler expects Howard to be the third Alabama player selected within the first 12 picks following Jonathan Allen and Reuben Foster.
- Garrett
- Trubisky
Of note: Burke says the Browns have to go with a quarterback unless there is a top-five defensive talent available at this spot.
- Garrett
- Trubisky
Of note: Davis actually projects the Browns to trade up to No. 5 with the Titans to grab Trubisky.
- Garrett
- Trubisky
Of note: Like Rang, this website expects Trubisky to be the first quarterback selected.
