Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal sees the Cleveland Browns sticking with the #4 overall pick instead of trading up for Baylor QB Robert Griffin III.
Ulrich mentions that Browns GM Tom Heckert‘s past indicates that he “covets” draft picks which is why they’re more likely to stay at #4 or possibly even trade down depending on what happens at the top of the draft.
Cleveland has shown interest in RGIII but they could address the position during free agency by signing someone like Matt Flynn. Mike Holmgren has already said that he intends to bring in some more competition at quarterback so you can expect a move to happen at some point during the offseason.
We actually have the Browns taking OSU WR Justin Blackmon at #4 and Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill at #22 in our most recent Mock Draft.
