According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter via Evan Silva, the Cleveland Browns still really like Colt McCoy as their quarterback, and it doesn’t look like they’ll use the 4th overall pick to take Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
“(They) really like Colt McCoy … It doesn’t look like they’re interested in Ryan Tannehill with the number 4 pick,” said Schefter per Silva.
Right now I expect the Browns to take Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon with the 4th overall pick and maybe take a quarterback with the 22nd overall pick or early in the second round.
The Browns definitely need to go with Blackmon because they don’t have weapons for their quarterback to work with, whether that’s McCoy or not.

The Cleveland Browns have said Colt McCoy is the guy they are going to have lead the team this season. There has been all kinds of speculation about the Browns taking a Q.B. in the up-coming NFL draft. The fans in Cleveland thought RGIII was going to be the answer, that was before the Redskins traded their future away to acquire the number two overall pick in the draft from the Rams...

Earlier, I predicted that the Browns are probably overrating their running backs. It concerns me because much like they did with wide receivers the year before, the Browns seem like they could be betting on question marks. Well, when it comes to tight ends, I am really encouraged by the prospects of the Browns getting some breakout performances at the position this year.

The Browns' best hope is Heckert
BEREA -- The best hope for the Cleveland Browns sat at a podium Thursday and talked about the teams draft plans.He didnt explain everything, because he cant. But he sure explained a lot. And he did it in a friendly, patient way that brought at least a little belief that it might well work. It has to happen, but at this point in their history the Browns need any sense of belief...

It might be tempting to view this sort of thing as high-level trolling, but given what passes for content at ClevelandBrowns.com, the folks at the NFL’s website were coming off like Abe Lincoln here.

Something has been staring us all in the face since the NFL schedule came out and I don’t think anyone has brought it up yet. Thankfully for us, we have the benefit of readership that is more observant than we are. We were alerted to the fact that the Browns play the Eagles in the all-important, “dress-rehearsal” third game of the preseason a mere two weeks before the Eagles...

Just a shade over a week remains until the 2012 NFL Draft. And despite all of the talking heads, researchers, analysts, and writers opinions we are still no closer to knowing what the Cleveland Browns will do with their number four over-all pick. Trade up, trade down, pick Blackmon, Richardson, Kalil, Tannehill, Claiborne, or simply give up and go home. Every possibility has been...

There is no doubt that the Cleveland Browns have struggled to find their franchise quarterback. Unfortunately it is not simply a case of evaluating a college prospect and seeing their ability to easily translate into the NFL. If it was, none of the QB busts like Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, or Mark Bulger would ever be selected. Cleveland, like some other teams in the league have been searching...

Remember this one? We used this before predicting the 2010 Browns record.
The Cleveland Browns rattled off four wins to end a tumultuous 2009 season. Prior to the four wins the Browns only other win was one of the least entertaining football games I’ve ever watched in my NFL-watching history as the Browns beat the Bills 6-3 in some ridiculous wind. Still, the Browns seemed headed...

That meant no supervised conditioning or instruction until the start of training camp. Four hundred fifty nine days after...

The long list of needs the Cleveland Browns must address in the upcoming 2012 NFL Draft is centered almost entirely around the offense.
Cleveland averaged just 288.8 total yards (29th in the league) and ranked 30th in the NFL with 13.6 points per game in 2011, while the defense finished 10th overall (332.4 YPG), fifth in scoring...

But it is safe to say that the organization has got their man and due to information publicly admitted by some General Managers I...
