Skip Bayless just said the Browns had the best first round haul. This makes me feel even worse.
The only positive I can take away is that the last time I was bumming this much after a draft, the Cavs had just selected Kyrie Irving. And that guy's the shizz. (He's also about 9 years younger than Weeden.)

This is one of those cases where I believe that the Browns would be better off letting fans make their picks.
John Hughes was supposedly a sixth or seventh rounder. Not with drunk Holmgren making picks.

Kirk Cousins to Redskins. Great idea--trade away a bunch of picks to get a QB and then burn another pick on a QB. I don't see how this is a good idea on any level.

If there's one thing Shanahan and Snyder have proven over the past 12 years, it's that they suck at drafting.

i kind of wonder how many of the guys that make the "football decisions" are actually really intelligent. it's kind of crazy to think of how much money they give these guys to gamble with. I'm guessing almost none of them are truly brilliant.

Sometimes I really do wonder what these scouts and talent analysts are seeing that I am not. Weeden has some tools, true. But he's shown that he gets tight in big games and is prone to making simple mistakes on the best days. In college he was supported by an amazing receiver and some good talent all around - which he will not have in Cleveland. This isn't quite Jamarcus Russell/Brady Quinn territory but it's up there.

Schefter said on Mike and Mike that the Browns told Colt yesterday before the draft that they would NOT take a qb in the 1st round

Not to mention passing on decastro gift wrapped a ten year starting guard for the steelers, their chief 'rival'

Feeling pretty Zen about the draft at this point. Like I've finally reached NFL Enlightenment.

Browns' 7th round pick was Trent Richardson's fullback at 'Bama. First undrafted free agent signed was one of Weeden's targets at OSU. Both based on input from Richardson and Weeden. Good to know that the Browns are just letting their players make the selections for them.

The Steelers did well. We can all be happy about that.

Good for the Lions drafting Kellen Moore. I've been a big fan of his.
