Rahim Abdullah, Courtney Brown and William GreenThe list of terrible Browns draft picks is honestly impressive. You have to try to be this bad. The odds of picking this horribly over the past 18 years are statistically staggering.
If I had to rank them here are my top 10
1 Manziel
2 Gilbert
3 Erving
4 Weeden
5 Quinn
6 Richardson
7 The 2009 2nd round (Robiskie, Massaquoi, Veikune)
8 Chaun Thompson
9 Mingo
10 Jeremiah Pharms

The Browns future for 2003 is so bright I gotta wear shades.RUN WILLIAM RUN
I'm thinking Quinn needs to be below Richardson. Also, Braylon Edwards stunk for his pick.
This is silly. Braylon Edwards doesn't even rank in the top 25 in terms of all-time worst Browns draft picks.
238 catches, 3697 yards, 28 touchdowns in 62 games. Nowhere near one of the biggest busts in team history.
I wouldn't even say Braylon is one of the 10 worst first round picks since 1999.
Brown, Green, Quinn, Taylor, Richardson, Weeden, Mingo, Gilbert, Manziel and Erving are all significantly worse than Braylon. You could make the case that Couch, Warren, Winslow II are just as bad, if not worse, as well.
Personally, my pick for the biggest bust in Browns history is David Veikune.
Mangini picked him 52nd overall in 2009 and tried to move him from college defensive end to inside linebacker. Guy never recorded a single tackle and was so awful that he was released after ONE YEAR.
This isn't a guy who couldn't stay healthy or a guy that got hit with a murder charge. Veikune literally couldn't play and was out of the league almost immediately. A flat-out bust on talent.
Not to be a downer, but this was also in the Camp Notes from yesterday:
http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2017/...-qb-to-be-named-later-and-tempers-flare-late/
Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer struggled and him tripping over an offensive lineman while dropping back during the final siren period summed up his afternoon.
Again, I don't include this to be a Kizer hater, but clearly their are still some growing pains as he learns to read a defense and drop back from center at the same time. That's common with rookies, just evidence of why the coaching staff is curbing enthusiasm.
I finally saw the preseason game and took away a few things
Brock was not nearly as bad as some are saying, the one throw should have been a td, he moved the team although 3 or 4 over throws were terrible. Not saying good,but wasnt bad.
Kizer might have more potential than any qb we have drafted since Kosar, but he was really asked to only play to his strengths, much of the playbook was off the table for him. I am excited, but cant see him being opening day starter, if he is, it will be a blood bath early in his career.
