The Cleveland Browns have been searching for a quarterback for more than two decades.
The franchise has tried just about everything imaginable to fix the problem, from high draft picks (four quarterbacks in the first round since 1999) to reclamation projects and just about every “bridge quarterback” imaginable.
The Browns are trying a different approach this year as they resisted the urge to trade valuable assets for a mythical “franchise quarterback,” ignored the dreck available in free agency and waited patiently in the 2017 NFL Draft before they made their move.
That move, of course, came late in the second round with the selection of Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer.
