Quote:If we didn't draft Bortles, Cleveland would have never made the move because they would have taken him.

 

 

While I did project the Browns taking Blake Bortles with pick # 4 in my Mock Draft,  what more than anything makes it difficult to predict what the Browns would have done is they have an owner that seems very hands on with key football decisions.   Jimmy Haslam seems like a loose cannon type of owner.   Even with all of the high draft picks and overall draft picks the Browns have had already and currently have in 2015,   it wouldn't be surprising in the least if the pieces don't end up fitting.  In essence, the parts being greater than the sum.    With yet another regime change a realistic possibility in the next couple of years.
