What's really sad is a senior part of the Browns scouting dept was fired before the 2016 draft because they all thought Carson Wentz would be a great prospect to draft.

 

The HC and other scouts were so adamant that Wentz was a bum the team fired the scouts that like Wentz and most liked Goff instead.

 

So, not only did the team pass on Wentz in the 1st, they also missed on Dak Prescott in the 4th.

What's even sadder is their scouts (maybe the same ones?) favored Derek Carr over Manziel in 2014. Supposedly Farmer and Pettine did too. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000329386/article/cleveland-browns-like-derek-carr-over-johnny-manziel

 

There was also an inadvertant image of Ray Farmer that had a whiteboard in the far background thought to be their draft board. Carr was at the top. Rumor was Haslam wanted Manziel but then again it could have all been a smokescreen. Good thing they got rid of those scouts who might actually be able to find a franchise quarterback and went with the analytics guys!

Playing QB for the Browns this year is probably one of those high risk things (like jumping out of airplanes) for which insurers will not insure.

 

Wow.
