Johnny Manziel, simply put, is a polarizing draft prospect. Some will argue he’s a Top 10 talent. Others believe he’s not worthy of being a first rounder. He could possibly be a franchise quarterback in the right situation. The Browns, with their two first-round draft selections, may be the team with the most interest in Manziel.

The reason I felt the Browns were playing for 2014 is because they are. Honestly, whether they traded [Trent] Richardson or not, Cleveland is going nowhere this season. … This was simply a move by a regime that didn’t draft Richardson to try to get value for a player it didn’t value highly. However you want to phrase it, the Browns are trying to gather as many pieces as they can — draft and otherwise — for the team to contend in 2014 and beyond. Richardson wasn’t one of those pieces.
