Frankly, I think Brady Quinn (for better or worse) is the best quarterback in this year's draft - and JaMarcus Russell is an overrated soon-to-be-bust that is being "built up" by the cackling magpies in the national media who wouldn't know talent from Mel Kiper's tube of Sugar Bowl hair gel.
Regardless, I am getting quite tired of Quinn "positioning" himself between the glamour of being drafted number one by the "Oops! I did it again!" Oakland Raiders - over his "love" for playing for his beloved hometown Cleveland Browns.
Which is it, Brady? Pick your poison, pretty boy!
The Cleveland Browns would do just as well drafting running back Adrian Peterson with their 1st round pick and pouncing on Michigan State quarterback, Drew Stanton, in the second or third round.
But what do I know, huh?
I have as much chance of influencing the Cleveland Browns (and their draft) as hosting my own mid-morning "gabfest" (with some creepy sidekick) on my local FOX affiliate: "That's Cancelled! with Chris McVetta" (where my guests will include the ghost of Kurt Vonnegut who will award me the coveted "Sally Struthers Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Blogging and VCR Repair"). And we'll whip up a batch of my tasty Geez-us! Fish in a succulent lemon sauce over in my McKitchen.
The Cleveland Browns need a star quarterback or running back: Quinn or Peterson (and the rest will follow) to restore faith in the followers of the Elf they call "Brownie."
And you can bet your creepy sidekicks on that! (Check your local listings.)

Chris,
I don't know who you are, but this article is too funny. If you were just giving ideas of what you would do. But you were blasting out how you knew there was no way the Browns would take Johnson.
Just rand across, article and wanted to comment. Its still cracking me up thinking about all you were saying. Anyway, well written, and go Browns.

Joe Thomas is the real deal. I admit, I was wrong. Eric Steinbach is still a great free agency addition ...and Brady Quinn is still a great draft pick for the Cleveland Browns (just ask the Miami Dolphins).
