People can dislike this pick all they want. But at worst you have a very reliable backup QB on a four year rookie deal with a late third round pick. But this kid has the goods. Throwing the ball like a rocket is something anyone with a strong arm can do. But dropping a dime with touch is an art form. Those type of passes are much more catchable balls. And if there's one thing this kid has, it's touch.
Sure, people can say "there were better players on the board". At this juncture nobody knows if that's actually true. What they are really saying is that there were more highly rated players on the board. And who ranked those boards again? The media. The same media that had Sanders ranked as the #2 QB in this draft.
I find it odd how most everyone knows that many first round QB's drafted aren't the highest ranked players on the board. How teams in need of a QB will reach to draft a QB over more highly ranked players on the board from a talent evaluation perspective due to the position being the most important. But when the Browns do it at pick #94 suddenly it's an issue for some people? To me that just sounds insane.
Does anyone actually think that a team is looking at addressing their future franchise QB at pick #94? Sure it's fine to take a shot and this kid is worth taking a shot with. This kid has a great chance at surprising many people and the Browns did their homework on him.
There are smaller QB's who seem to have what I call "little man syndrome". Some think that's good. They feel some need to act tough, have "a chip on their shoulder" and attitude. We've all seen that play out here with Johnny Football. That isn't who this kid is. He seems to have his head squarely on his shoulders and seems to be all business. That makes a difference.
