Browns plan to draft a quarterback in middle rounds

Although the Cleveland Browns are in urgent need of a productive quarterback and determined to get on through any possible ways, they just do not expect the very quarterback they want could be found in the first two rounds of this year.

According to Browns’ team President Mike Holmgren, it would be pretty hard to use the second-round pick to get an effective quarterback that would be able to help improve the offensive line, but the team is determined to get on this year and so the chance could be in the middle rounds.

The Browns has signed veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme and made a trade with the Seattle Seahawks to acquire quarterback Seneca Wallace, but both are over or around 30 years old and a young quarterback that could develop into a franchise leader has been always what the Browns look for since they returned to NFL in 1999. Previously they had two such quarterbacks but none had lived up to expectation. Brady Quinn taken in the first round in 2007 was traded to the Denver Broncos last week, and the first-overall draft pick in 1999 Tim Couch spent only five seasons without much production before taking off his Browns jersey.
