As we draw closer to draft day reports say the Browns have made it no secret they like Geno Smith. Last season the strong armed gunslinger passed for 4,250 yards and 42 touchdowns primarily out of the shotgun while leading West Virginia to a 7-6 record. Sound familiar less than a year ago the Browns warmed up to another strong armed shotgun slinging QB who passed to the tune of 4,727 yards and 37 touchdowns leading his team to a 12-1 record. His name? Brandon Weeden. Hopefully this is just all a smoke screen Geno Smith is not much of an upgrade over Weeden if any at all. Other than age factor Geno is 22 and Weeden is quickly closing in on retirement at 29 these guys could be twins. Well almost twins.
Honestly I am not in love with anyone in the top 10 of this draft although if Dee Milner drops to the #6 spot he would be a major upgrade over Buster Skrine. Otherwise, the call here is to trade down and pick up another pick possibly a second round selection which Cleveland lost by selecting Josh Gordan in the supplemental draft. Pick up some quality talent and fill some needs TE, CB etc and if they are hell bent on a quarterback take one later in the draft. Maybe Jordan Lynch. Then next year if the quarterback position is still an issue sell the farm and trade what you have to so you can draft either Braxton Miller or Teddy Bridgewater.
