Because Why Wouldn't You
Didn't Washington draft two QB's in the same draft once? RG III and some other guy...
Unbelievable. Knowing the Browns, they will pick the two biggest busts--Allen and that douchebag in the bandana. As I've said before, I think the Browns would turn that ship around faster by taking two lower-risk, high impact players like Barkley, Chubb, or Nelson and then later on take a low-pressure shot on a QB like White or Falk or Muffaletta or whatever his name is.

@"purpleloki" said: Didn't Washington draft two QB's in the same draft once? RG III and some other guy...Big difference is that one was, what, 2 or 3 overall? The other was a 4th round pick. That's diversifying your investment. And fairly wise if you ask me. Drafting two QBs in the top 4 is a sign of serious desperation.

One big issue I had with Spielman was his reluctance to invest a second pick on a QB when he had one in the fold.@"purpleloki" said: Didn't Washington draft two QB's in the same draft once?

It's just a crappy attempt to send a signal to Buffalo and Denver that they need to deal for Cleveland's number four pick if they really want a QB. They're really hoping that Denver gives them something to swap picks. In this scenario, Cleveland likely still gets the player they would have picked at four. It's the Spielman Sucker play that Rick pulled on Cleveland when we drafted Kalil.
Oilers drafted QBs at 1 and 3 overall it I remember correctly...Dante Pasterenni and Lynn Dickey...

The only thing Cleveland has truly excelled at is wasting first round picks on crappy QBs. I guess picking two crappy QBs is all they can do to top that!
I don't know. The more I watch what the Vikings have done and are trying to do I think I would build my lines first and then develop from there. That way when you bring in the young QB he has a chance to develop and not get killed in his developmental years.
Seems like they want to grab the "hit it out of the park" franchise QB first and then start building a team around him.
This is all being said with me not knowing what Cleveland needs to build up it's current lines.

I think you're right. But with Joe Thomas' retirement, and them letting Alex Mack leave two years ago, they weren't necessarily improving the line.
