Their drafting in the last 4 or 5 years has been much less good. Did they lose someone from the FO around that time?

Not sure about scouts and such.

Robinson has done a really good job in Tennessee but he was lost later wasn't he? Thought Quinn was too...... just trying to work out if there is someone for whom that timing lines up.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Hot take alert: the Browns should have drafted Russell Wilson instead of Brandon Weeden. JMO.

Licht left in 2012 for Arizona and then wound up in Tampa, Robinson joined him in Tampa in after the 2013 season...so I guess Robinson is the guy. It makes sense. 1
