Word is the Browns didn't believe Wentz would be a top 20 QB, and hence traded down.
If so I hope he washed 'em.
The bestest thing that happened to Wentz on Draft Day was the Browns not picking him. Seriously that organization just can't get outta their own way.
But, if Wentz does succeed in Philly, Browns fans are gonna be pissed cause once again the didn't take the pick.
The fact that the Browns didn't think Wentz could play is arguably the greatest evidence possible that he will become a starting NFL quarterback.
Could you imagine if you went back the last 10 yrs in drafts and instead of the list of QB's that have taken a snap for the Browns list the QB's they could have had?
I'm almost positive Rodgers at least twice could have been had!
actually once with 3rd pick they took braylon edwards No player taken by brownies in 05 is still in NFLCould you imagine if you went back the last 10 yrs in drafts and instead of the list of QB's that have taken a snap for the Browns list the QB's they could have had?

Can start with 99 when they came back
#1 overall Tim Couch. McNabb #2, Culpepper #11
2004 Passed on Big Ben in the 1st (Winslow JR) and took Luke McCown in the 4th
2005 passed on Rodgers in the 1st (Braylon) and took Charlie Frye in the 3rd
2007 Brady Quinn (not much left on the board, Kevin Kolb was next taken, and Quinn/Russell were definitely in their own class)
2010 Took Colt McCoy in the 3rd (not really any better options for them)
2012 Took Weeden... Still out there was Russell Wilson, Cousins, Foles, Tannehill (instead of Trent Richardson), Brock Osweiler may join that list soon
2014 Johnny Manziel over Bridgewater and Derek Carr
Seems tough for them. I honestly think that team should go all in and as long as it's not a year with no QB's out there, take a guy in the first round until you get one right. They haven't been bad in the draft, just horrible when it comes to QB's.
Oh they have been horrible beyond the QB's though. Allowing for last year and this year to not be in the mix let's go to 2014
Justin Gilbert--traded for a 6th round pick and been a huge bust so far
Barkevious Mingo--again traded
Trent Richardson--They thankfully got good value after he proved to be a terrible bust in this league but they still drafted him.
Phil Taylor--Couldn't stay healthy
Those are the 1st round picks other than QB's other than the past 2 years of draft picks. Not a great look since 2012.
2012 ravens had 11 starters they got thru the draft 5 of them after flacco let me know when the browns win anythingSome, they've drafted good skill position, fine offensive line, good DB's. Everyone has misses. Pats missed on every pick in 2000 except Brady. People have been calling Ozzie Newsome a top 5 GM for nearly a decade now. Outside of Joe Flacco can you call his drafts better than the Browns since then?

you don't think Bob is the answer?Have a strong feeling that 2017 will get them their QB, whether it be Watson, Kaaya, or maybe Kizer?
