What if the Browns only drafted QBs?

What if the Browns just used their top 3 picks this year on quarterbacks? It's a seemingly drunken idea that hit me after my third cup of coffee this morning.

So let's go back in New Browns history (fuck you Modell) and see what would have happened if the Browns used their top 3 picks to only pick QBs. Since we're pretending to not be able to see the future, I'll take the next highest drafted QB as the Browns pick.

There's plenty more bad decisions we could slice by seeing who else was available at that draft spot, but it might cause me to have to start drinking way earlier than planned today.

1999 - round - overall - actual pick - potential pick
1-1 - Tim Couch - well, he was a QB so he stays, but umm McNabb or Culpepper
2-32 - Kevin Johnson - Shaun King
2-45 - Rahim Abdullah - Brock Huard

2000
1-1 - Courtney Brown - Chad Pennington
2 - 32 - Dennis Northcutt - Giovanni Carmazzi
3 - 63 - Travis Prentice - Chris Redman
see also Brady, Tom

2001
1 - 3 - Gerard Warren - Drew Brees
2 - 33 - Quincy Morgan - Quincy Carter
3 - 65 - James Jackson - Marques Tuiasosopo

2002
1 - 16 - William Green - Patrick Ramsay
2 - 47 - Andre Davis - Josh McCown
3 - 76 - Melvin Fowler - David Garrard

2003
1 - 21 - Jeff Faine - Rex Grossman
2 - 52 - Chaun Thompson - Dave Ragone
3 - 84 - Chris Crocker - Chris Simms

2004
1 - 6 - Kellen Winslow - Ben Turdburger
2 - 59 - Sean Jones - Matt Schaub
4 - 106 - Luke McCown - hey look it's a QB, but Craig Krenzel was available #winner

2005
1 - 3 - Braylon Edwards - Aaron Rodgers, with Jason Campbell coming right after him
2 - 34 - Brodney Pool -somehow Chaz Frye was the next QB drafted
3 - 67 - Chaz Frye - just FYI Kyle Orton, Derek Anderson, Matt Cassel, and Ryan Fitzpatrick were still on the board here

2006
1 - 13 - Kamerian Wimbley - Kellen Clemens
2 - 34 - D'Qwell Jackson - Tarvaris Jackson
3 - 78 - Travis Wilson - Charlie Whitehurst

OK, time for a Clorox break. While there were a few solutions to the Browns QB problem outbreak epidemic, it's much more depressing to see the number of flat out horrible picks. 2006 was the first year that they took 2 somewhat productive players. Let's continue the pain...

2007
1 - 3 - Joe Thomas - Kevin Kolb
1 - 22 - Brady Quinn - gross
2 - 36 - (traded for Quinn) - John Beck
2 - 53 - Eric Wright -  Drew Stanton

2008
1 - 22 - (traded for Quinn) - Brian Brohm
4 - 104 - Beau Bell - John David Booty
4 - 111 - Martin Rucker - Dennis Dixon
6 - 190 - Ahtyba Rubin - Andre Woodson
still on board - Matt Flynn

2009
1 - 21 - Alex Mack - Pat White
2 - 36 - Brian Robiskie - Stephen McGee
2 - 50 - Mohammad Massaquoi - Rhett Bomar

2010
1 - 7 - Joe Haden - Tim Tebow
2 - 38 - TJ Ward - Jimmy Claussen
2 - 59 - Montario Hardesty - Colt McCoy

2011
1 - 21 - Phil Taylor - Andy Dalton
2 - 37 - Jabaal Sheard - Ryan Mallett (missed Colin Kaepernick by 1 pick)
2 - 59 - Greg Little - Ricky Stanzi

2012
1 - 3 - Trent Richardson - Ryan Tannehill
1 - 22 - Brandon Weeden - old
2 - 37 - Mitchell Schwartz - Brock Osweiler
still on board - Russell Wilson, Nick Foles, Kirk Cousins

2013
1 - 6 - Barkevious Mingo - EJ Manuel
3 - 68 - Leon McFadden - Mike Glennon
6 - 175 - Jamoris Slaughter - Brad Sorensen

See? The Browns could have solved their QB problem back in 2001 just by taking Drew Brees. Then they could have spent the last 13 years drafting running backs.
