So why did Cleveland passed on Wentz again?

[Four4Four]

I'm still trying to figure out their logic. Was it the North Dakota division ll thing? The browns received 5 picks for Wentz with the last one draft pick slated for 2018. Did they get any good players from the 4 they've selected already? Damn they uck that up!!!

You're asking why the franchise that took a 29 year old QB in the first round passed on a top QB prospect a few years later?

I hope Cleveland never takes another QB. All they do is ruin them. At some point, we can't keep blaming the players that get drafted by them. I really believe a player becomes terrible by going to Cleveland

Unless your name is Joe Thomas.

They were pretty sure the Houston Texans were going to cut Brandon Weeden who reportedly told the Browns he had been working really really hard and was ready to live up to his 1st round potential if the Browns re-signed him. Unfortunately it didn't happen and the Browns' Super Bowl hopes were shattered.

Does anyone really truly believe if Wentz went to the Browns that year they or he would be good?

Carson Wentz is not a top-20 quarterback, say the Browns

Well, according to Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta (the guy Jonah Hill played in "Moneyball,") the team did not think Wentz has what it takes to be a top-20 quarterback in the NFL. And if there's one thing the Browns are really good at, it's evaluating quarterback talent.

"Even though you have a desperate need for one, you have to resist the temptation of taking that guy just because you have a need if you don't believe he's one of those 20 guys at the end of the day," DePodesta told Tony Grossi of WKNR-850 AM. "I think that's the hardest part, just maintaining your discipline because you have the need. That's what we did this year."

Best of luck, Cleveland.

That's what's so funny. If Wentz was on the Browns divide his TDs/Rating by 2, and subtract 10% from the completion %.

Latest from Hue Jackson: "Browns coach Hue Jackson wants to see rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer develop on the field, but he's not going to do it at the expense of turnovers."

Well no shit Jackson, you oaf... here's an idea though, your team is going to do jack shit anyway this year and we're all going to laugh next year when your org takes a RB 1st overall in a QB loaded class, so just put Kizer out there and let him throw 45 interceptions. At least then your organization will hold a record for something in a season.

I don't. I liked Wentz but not as a high 1st.
Eagle fans probably think he's the best QB since they anointed Foles as the greatest QB to ever walk the earth.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

the browns had a billion holes in their team. That would be my 1st answer to why they traded back.
Now I have no idea who they drafted with those picks, but I get the trade in itself.

Simple Answer - "Because they ARE CLEVELAND"

Looks like Eagle fans are trying to knock Patriot fans off their perch as chief general forum spammers.

At least Pats fans won the SB before they partook in this behavior.

if it makes you feel better, the Jets passed on Deshean Watson and Patrick Mahomes this past draft

 

[SJ76]

Same reason they passed on D Watson

I have a question about Carson Wentz. Do you think he's a little creeped out by all his fanboys trying to get validation for him? And, do you think maybe he's happy as fuck that Cleveland didn't take him?
Fwiw, I like the kid and enjoy watching him play but fuck, this schtick is getting insanely weird on the boards.

Probably doesn't have the time to care too much if he takes being a good NFL QB seriously during the season.

Lol, yeah, I agree but it was a bit of a "tongue in cheek" question.
