A former Cleveland Browns player was on the phone this week, advocating he would not draft a quarterback if he were the Browns.
Guys come out unprepared these days and teams give them too much money, he said, adding the Browns should build the team and then place the quarterback. Sort of like how Ben Roethlisberger stepped into a winning situation in Pittsburgh way back when the Browns passed on him.
This offseason, this figures to be an argument that the Browns will ignore. They will be drafting a quarterback, and they will make every effort to sign a veteran, with AJ McCarron of the Cincinnati Bengals the most likely target.
