That's a pretty reasonable draft. I'm also not sure why you're talking about the Browns drafting record when they have a new regime in place.

Ya OK
.... has any team EVER drafted all that in one draft...ever.
Nevermind the nonsense about no franchise RB's anymore (Adrian peterson and Arian Foster say hi)...when was the last time Ckeveland drafted well? Joe Thomas?
The Browns would have better luck bringing back Jim Brown as a RB, Brian Sipe as their QB and Ozzie Newsome to catch balls than expect to fill those 3 positions with #1 starters.
I am actually a bit of a Browns fan, but nothing suggests they can turn things around like suggested in that kool-aid drinking article.
This is a microchasm of the Brown ineptitude since they re-joined the NFL..
"Including his signing bonus, the Browns paid the running back -- taken third overall in 2012 -- $13.8 million for what amounted to 17 games."
New "regime" or not, this club is what it is until they prove otherwise....inept at the game and business of football. Saying otherwise is both disingenuous and flat out wrong.
