Hue Jackson is a realist — and his reality is staring him right in the face — if he doesn’t secure a quarterback, his stint as a head coach will be short-lived again.
Jackson — while appearing on Bleacher Report’s XM Radio show Sunday morning — was asked about Johnny Manziel and the quarterback position in general.
Jackson didn’t blink when stating that he’d use the No. 3 pick on quarterback, because he needs one.
Hue Jackson on the Browns: "If there is a QB at #2 that is a best fit for our team, we need to go get him. It's my opinion we need a QB."

Manziel is the third quarterback the Browns have drafted in the first round since 2007 — but this will be the first time the Browns will draft a quarterback this high since Tim Couch.
