None of those guys are even as good as Colt McCoy, so I would respectfully disagree with your assessment that next year's draft is deep in QBs. Oh, certainly there are a number of them that will be available....but they are all costume jewelry. No real gems.

FWIW, 3 of those guys are in NFL.COM's 2013 top 10 for all players...Most of them are "prototypes", being 6'3" - 6'5" range. They are pretty highly regarded right now...

5 of them have played in pro-style systems...With 5 step drops, pro terminology, snap counts and huddles ...And none of them are 30.

I just feel like if we have another high pick, it would mean we didn't get the immediate upgrade we were looking for at QB. Weeden will be 30 in 2013, and I couldn't stomach passing up a possible franchise QB.

Hey all,

1st time poster and lifelong Browns fan. I wasn't crazy about the Weeden pick, but I do understand it. Either way, it is what it is and I hope the young man is the real deal...However, what happens if things don't work out well and we have another high draft pick. The 2013 draft class is ridiculously deep in QB's...Barkely, Emmanuel, Tyler Wilson, Geno Smith, Landry Jones, Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray, etc...Would we pull the trigger on a franchise guy, basically rendering the Weeden pick a failure, or would we give Weeden a chance to develop (even though he's older)?
