I would take a years break from drafting QB early. I would address other needs. Just lost LT. Not enough blocking. Not enough talent at WR, RB, Defense. I would not want picks at 1 and 4. I would trade one of them down for 2 or 3 picks later. I would want as many picks as an expansion team considering 0-16 season. I'm not saying as owner/GM I don't need a QB, but taking over I see way too many drafts taking QB. This leaves me with too many holes all over the field. Since drafting QB has not been the answer, I try to rebuild entire team. I think I can draft a QB later in draft but I also think I can get a veteran looking for a job plus a QB already on team. That if I build this team up, I can find a QB to get me 6 to 8 wins, which would be a huge jump from 0-16. I would be building for 4 years down the road for Super Bowl with this mistake on the lake. I take QB completely off table first 3 or 4 rounds and stop the insanity of this team drafting QB each and every year. The fans will start to get it when they see much needed talent at other positions take the field, and team starts looking good for first time since 1980's. As Paul Brown in 1968, I tell fans it will take a few seasons to build this thing up from 0 wins. Eventually I would want a top QB and a top RB. You can't win off Lake Erie without a great RB. Motley, Brown, Kelly, Pruitt. In the draft, when in doubt, I would draft best players out of Big 10 and other Northern colleges to play in the slop off Lake Erie as Paul Brown. Of course taking all over USA, but when in doubt, take players use to the sloppy weather.
I get what you are saying but if you get 6-8 wins with another quarterback (Tyrod for example) then you lose the opportunity at the first picks of the next year's draft. I think they should take one of the quarterbacks if they really like him... Saquon Barkley would also be a good pick up for them. Having picks 1 and 4 puts the Browns in a really good spot. Maybe they take Barkley at 1 and a QB at 4?
There are no top tier tackles in this draft so I feel that's something they need to address after round 1. Maybe Joe Thomas will change his mind after the draft ;-)
The last thing I want to say is that the Browns wide receivers don't look too bad for 2018. They have Jarvis Landry, Josh Gordon, a healthy (hopefully) Corey Coleman, and just signed Jeff Janis along with some other young prospects like Rashard Higgins. I don't think they need to draft a receiver early unless there is a good value prospect available.
