I'd rather that they do lots of things differently from how they've done them.
I hope they don't pick him.
There will be lots of worse picks available.
They have picked worse in the past. Remember when they used a first and second round pick to select a tight end? Not two different tight ends - it was one tight end they used 2 picks to get.
Remember when they selected some doof from up north to play punt returner on every single defensive play? He played linebacker and strong safety and corner back for the doofuses up north, but Cleveland put him at free safety, and played him so deep every play that it became a 10 versus 11 game.
Then there was some running back - was he from Alabama? I forget. The smartest thing the Browns did with him was trade him to the Colts. Was that Trent Richardson?
And I'm sure we could list a bunch more bad draft picks the Browns have made.

One only needs to mention the Sovereign of Workout Shorts Warriors, David Veikune. No other player even needs to be mentioned...but the list is long behind him.

Or when they picked a TE with a reversed name to a DL that had already been drafted thinking they were drafting the DL.

Deshaun Watson insurance policy provides silver lining for Browns​

The Browns have finally admitted that the Deshaun Watson contract was a disaster. Within the perpetual storm cloud is a silver lining, however.

The contract, a copy of which PFT has obtained, contains an insurance addendum that allows the Browns to purchase coverage "in the event player is unable to perform the services required by his NFL Player Contract due to an NFL football-related or non-football related injury or death resulting therefrom."

For an injury occurring between the start of the 2024 offseason program and the start of the 2025 offseason program, the contract allows for $58.176 million to be recovered by the Browns.

The formula is as follows: $12.691 million in 2024 signing bonus; $1.21 million in 2024 base salary; and $44.274 million of $46 million in 2025 base salary.

Watson suffered a torn Achilles in Week 7 of the 2024 season. If the insurance is based on the portion of the season Watson played, they'd presumably get all of the $12.691 million from the 2024 signing bonus (which was more than $40 million), less than half of his $1.21 million 2024 base salary, and (if as expected he doesn't play in 2025) $44.274 million for 2025.

It's more than $55 million of the $230 million albatross contract. Which will reduce the salary-cap pain. Given that $135 million of the $230 million deal has yet to hit the cap, that'll make a huge difference for the Browns in the coming years.

If, that is, they actually collect on the policy. Insurance companies love taking money in. They hate paying money out. And with more than $55 million on the line, the insurance company's lawyers will be scouring the policy for any and all exceptions or exclusions that would justify a denial....:lol:
