Coach Pat Shurmur conceded that it will be hard to pass up a playmaker in this year's draft, but the Browns are also looking to trade down from the sixth spot. "This draft might fall kind of funny because of the quarterbacks," team president Mike Holmgren said. The Browns have a potential match with Minnesota, as coach Leslie Frazier strongly suggested Tuesday that the Vikings have considered trading up to land a top QB prospect.
I have been hearing as the off season goes on that The Browns are slowly getting more comfortable with Colt McCoy and this notion reflects this. RLLD was wondering why the Vikes weren't mentioned much in the trade for Kolb derby and this maybe why. The Kolb derby may end up being a bit expensive to win. The Vikes do have QB Joe Webb who did look pretty solid in relief duty near the end of the season. This gives them a little latitude when it comes to drafting a rookie QB and waiting for him to hatch. That doesn't mean they won't be in the Kolb derby at some point but they have a couple of angles they can pursue.
