The Bears & 49ers will likely be looking at him with interest so the Browns will have competition.
The number one overall is extremely unlikely but then so is coming back from 28-3 down in the Super bowl. I would love Myles Garrett lined up alongside Trey Flowers, every QB would feel threatened.
When you think that certain college QBs go for multiple picks and often these include three or four picks in the first two rounds in sequential years having not proved anything in the pros. There isn't a huge amount of tape on Jimmy G but scouts and GMs can be more confident of what they have with JG than they do with a college QB.
So giving up multiple picks for Jimmy is not only possible but probable in my opinion especially when there are many teams which need to solve their QB problem.
If you want to be in the play-offs every year you need a top tier QB. If you don't have a top tier QB you will be drafting high every year. The NFL has become even more of a passing game with each year.
If Bill is going to trade JG away it would be good to send him to the NFC and his home town Chicago. I'd demand nothing less than 2017 2nd rounder, 2017 5th rounder and a 2018 1st rounder. This should be palatable enough for the Bears and still agreeable for the Patriots.
Personally I would like Bill to keep hold of Jimmy as I think he will be a top 5 QB in the league and could play for the Patriots for 10 years. I think we could see Brady play one or two more years. I know Brady talks about playing many more years but at some point he just has to decline in play and with his wife already asking him to retire I think he'll play two more years. Enough time to get Championship number six.
And right on cue, Jason La Canfora is doubling down on his Bears interest report:
NFL Rumors: Bears Primed To Make Run At Acquiring Jimmy Garoppolo
Bonus: he's speculating (no sources on this) that the Jets may be the landing spot for Jay Cutler. It's like Chrismas all over again!
OLB Pass rusher with 7 sacks Leonard Floyd and the Bears #3 works for me.If a bidding war starts, #1 overall would not only be in play but additional picks on top of that.

Am I wrong or the Pats already have a lot of picks for the next draft?
They may convince a team to trade a truckload of future picks for JimmyG, that would work for both sides, desperate GM's always relegate the future and that would suit our plans too. We just need a 2nd for this year.
You have GOT to be kidding.Jimmy G to the Bears makes too much sense for it not to happen. Chicago native. Marketable as the second coming of Brady.

Projected to have 8 picks at this point, although it's not official and subject to change: New England Patriots to pick 32nd overall in the first round
Summary:
1st round pick 32
2nd round pick 32
3rd round pick 32
3rd round compensatory pick, projected to be 103 overall, from Cleveland for Jamie Collins, due to their loss of Alex Mack to Atlanta.
4th round, pick 30 (Pats had also acquired Seattle's 4th rounder but that is being forfeited due to the Jackass; Giants' pick got moved down a whole 9 spots due to their walkie talkie violation)
5th rounder from Denver for AJ Derby (Pats own pick traded to Cleveland for Barkevious Mingo)
5th round compensatory pick due to loss of Akiem Hicks
7th round pick (multiple trades with Detroit first shipping this pick away for Michael Williams, then reacquired as part of Kyle Van Noy trade where Pats traded their 6th rounder for this pick and Van Noy)
If that Mack comp pick winds up being a 4th rounder, the Pats get Cleveland's 2018 4th rounder instead to avoid this pick being confiscated by the Jackass instead of Seattle's.
EDIT: too slow on the draw; props to @FreeTedWilliams
