Mahomes had the best wide receiver in the nfl to throw to
If he was throwing to Higgins and Landry with Stefanski coaching he would be a 15 to 20
Qb.
Remember Stefanski passed on 3 time pro bowl level qb.

You can't explain away many of the throws and all of the talent Mahomes possesses by simply pointing out the quality of his WR's and TE. The fact the Browns couldn't and still haven't been able to come up with a quality QB is on them and nobody else.
Mahomes was drafted in 2017. That will be nine years ago as of this draft. They hadn't come up with a franchise QB as of that time and they haven't come up with one since. So far it will make six years for this FO alone.
But I get it. To some people it's everyone's fault but those responsible to get that QB.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Not going to pile on for missing on Purdy or Brady. You can choose to pile on if you pass on some of the first round QB's who have gone on to be great ... but personally unless you are on here championing picking a guy above where all the other "experts" claim they should slot
In 2016 the Browns relied on the expertise of a baseball manager preferring to draft a 3rd round QB, Cody Kessler.
Dak Pescott was judged to be "not guilty" for the DUI charge and went on to be named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2016.

So if a team is great at QB evaluation and know a guy has great potential to be a franchise QB they wait until the 4th round 6th round or the last pick in the draft so select them? For future reference that's nothing more than taking a flyer on a guy.
I get that the Browns have passed up on some QB's they should have drafted and Mahomes in one such example. There are others.
But no team passes up on a QB three or five or six times because they evaluated him so well. If they think there's a good chance he can be the guy they're not going to leave him sitting out there thinking they're the smartest guys in the room and he'll still be on the board whenever. That doesn't make any sense.
Remember, 31 of 32 teams passed on these guys several times.
