Not sure where to put this so I am putting it here. It's one of those "Wow ... other teams sometimes suck worse than us!" Unfortunately, for the last 10 years or so, they are the company we keep.

Cleveland has spent a No. 1 draft pick on QB's three times in the last 8 years.
2007 - Brady Quinn
2012 - Brandon Weeden
2014 - Johnny Manziel

The other thing that jumped out about these picks is that each one was the 22nd pick of the first round. Since 1970, the only other two QB's drafted with the 22nd pick were Rex Grossman (2003) and J.P. Losman (2004).

So ... never pick a QB at the 22nd slot and, if your Cleveland, never, ever, ever pick another QB at the 22nd slot.
