Cousins went to Minnesota, Alex Smith went to Washington, Tyrod Taylor went to Cleveland, Case Keenum went to Denver, and Teddy Bridgewater went to the Jets first and then to New Orleans. That sums up most of the major QB moves from this offseason.

There's been hype around Cleveland at the start of each season for the past few years. They always have the talent to, at least on paper, improve significantly and maybe even make a run at a playoff spot. I might've bought into it this time if they hadn't passed up the chance to have possibly the best defensive line in the entire league to take a fucking 5-11 cornerback. But no, Hue Jackson is an idiot who somehow hasn't been fired after going 1-31 over the last two years, the Browns' front office makes draft picks based on what comes up when they shake the magic 8 ball, and the coaching staff actively discourages stretching because they believe that not doing so is what allowed the allies to win WW2. Anyone who feels bad for the Browns as an organization just hasn't actually seen them. You don't get any pity points when you're the one actively punching yourself in the face.

If anyone else wants to join the league at the last moment or make edits to your picks, the first round of games on Sunday being at 1:00 PM EDT tomorrow (a little over 11 hours from this post).

Where's Sam Bradford? Backup in Minnesota?

As for Cleveland, I meant hype as in the NFL experts going along with it instead of writing it off as yet another case of wishful thinking in Cleveland. The coaches in your video seem to be not a fan of movement of any kind.

When I made my bracket prediction, I looked up an article for projected records on NFL.com. It was written by a woman and used a model that took records from the past ten years into account as well as various variables. The AFC North teams were the first ones in the article and then I saw the Cleveland Browns with a projection of 6.3 wins. I closed the article, stood up and walked away from my computer. I was honestly frightened by what I read.

Bradford is starting for the Cardinals....for all of the 5 minutes until he gets injured again.
