Crazy.

Moved their over-investment from RB to QB

Going to do exactly what I predicted in the AP mock draft.

Draft and groom whoever is left. Let them sit and learn for awhile. I like it.

The Browns are the more questionable team here. RG3?

The Browns can roll with RG3 and McCown for right now while they build up their roster. They're so far away from needing a young QB at this time.

Isn't that where Cleveland has been for years now, though?

Of course, they have drafted worse than anyone for a good while now, especially in the 1st round.

Bradford plays this year and then is cut or traded afterwards. Daniel plays backup this year with Wentz/Goff sitting their 1st year and not having to worry about filling in for Bradford when/if he gets hurt.

This.

I think the Browns are stupid unless they suck so bad to be at the top next year as well and get another QB. They can't actually think RG3 can stay healthy and is a leader? Personally I would have just drafted either QB that was there, they both look to be worth a shot.

Now Douggie baby can deal Bradford to either the Jets or Denver as long as he takes a pay cut because neither of them will pay his crazy salary.

If I'm Wentz I would be beyond happy to avoid the Browns.

It's the ****ing Browns. They'll be drafting top 10 next year. And now they have the ammo to move up if they want to.

I'm just saying Wentz is worth the 2 pick. Will there be a QB like that next year they can get? It's a gamble but their team is in shambles for sure and they need all the picks they can get.

The Browns have had 24 starting QBs since 1999. Many of them high draft picks. They suck at drafting QBs. They are much better off getting extra draft picks and building the rest of the team, then worrying about a QB.

This is a really good deal for Cleveland.

You can't even look at what you just typed and think for a minute?
You just believe that a team gets 24 QBs that a majority of the rest of the league deemed professional and serviceable..but somehow,just because they go to that team,they end up sucking?
It's a copycat league and everyone knows what everyone else knows but yeah sure,your onlyva b seer is they suck at picking QBs?
And you try and call me dumb?
It's the only American pro football league where you are supposed to get the best of the best. So/but somehow,some ****ing way, you believe it's natural for the Browns to always get the worst of the best.
You'll believe anything then.

I would agree in terms of gaining picks that can help the team be filled out better. However, I'd never trade out of the #2 spot when there is a potential franchise QB staring me in the face and I need a QB desperately.

SF might take Lynch at 7. Then what does Cleveland do? I think Dak Prescott is going to be a steal at QB in this draft, so maybe they go that route if Denver doesn't draft him at the end of 1.

I dunno, Cleveland may very well have shot themselves in the foot.

Not sure if this has been mentioned-- but it's kinda insane, the plot of Draft Day has played out before our very eyes.

If you recall in the movie, the Browns trade up to allegedly select their QBOTF, while already having a veteran QB who had been dealing with past injury problems and unreached potential.

Well, now the Eagles have done exactly that. I didn't think of it until I read that Sam Bradford was pissed off about it, made me think of that goofy ass scene in the movie where the vet QB trashed the GM's office.

If only that really happened...

They drafted a potential franchise QB two years ago. And 4 years ago. And 6 years ago. And 9 years ago. How has that worked out for them? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. It is time they tried something different.
