The Cleveland Browns clinched the number one pick in the 2018 NFL draft, leaving the struggling winless-in-2017 team its choice of the field come April.
Saquon Barkley is currently the number two player in the draft according to ESPN draft expert Todd McShay, right behind UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen.
They Browns decided to analyze whether taking a running back (read: Saquon Barkley) in the modern NFL is worth the number one pick on the official team Twitter account for the “Browns Mailbag,” which is a fair debate. But they made one fatal mistake.
The Browns used a photo of Penn State’s No. 26 at the Fiesta Bowl. But it’s not Saquon Barkley. The photo actually features freshman safety Jonathan Sutherland.
The difference in sleeve size and visor are the minute details to notice in the difference between players. Along Sutherland’s left shoulder by the number, also hard to notice on first glance, you can see one of his long dreadlocks.
Browns about to draft a very confused Jonathan Sutherland.
