Quote:I don't need a family of Browns fans to know that. They publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Brandon Weeden. They may end up picking someone else but the fact they expressed interest in Manziel means they are thinking about picking a quarterback in the first round.

 

what if manziel goes 1, bridgewater goes 2, and bortles goes 3? they probably wont pick a qb in the first round....

 

then lets assume that someone takes carr and mccarron before they have a chance. 

 

still going to guarantee they draft a new qb? (also if you try to say they will take one later, lets assume that murray, mett, garappolo, boyd, and fales all get snagged by a team other than the browns)

 

they could go in there with weeden again, or hoyer (who i think has some promise) but point being, you cant guarantee theyre going to draft a qb

 

i think it has a lot to do with 2 things, the browns is a lower level gig based on the current roster and 2. the way they treated chud and the dysfunction between the owner and the gm....no one is going to potentially put their career on the line when they dont have a steady foundation.
