Report: Browns have considered drafting 2 quarterbacks

As owners of the No. 1 and No. 4 picks in the upcoming draft, the Cleveland Browns have considered all of their options - including selecting two quarterbacks high in the draft, reports Kevin Clark of The Ringer.

Clark directly asked multiple members of the Browns organization whether they'd considered the strategy.

"The answer is yes," Clark wrote. "The people I asked have thought about it, discussed it, and investigated it. This is not to say it will happen."

The Browns have gone through quarterbacks at a frightening pace since the early 1990s, and are finally in a position to end that era under new general manager John Dorsey. It only makes sense for the team to go over all possible scenarios before Cleveland's on the clock April 26.

Dorsey hasn't ruled out trading the No. 1 or No. 4 pick either. The Browns also have three selections in the second round.

"I'm going to consider all options ... I'm going to do what's best for this organization ... I still have seven days ... my phone, the power is still on," Dorsey said Thursday, according to Daryl Ruiter of 92.3TheFan in Cleveland.

There is precedent for selecting two quarterbacks in one draft class. In one of the most high-profile examples, the Washington Redskins traded up to select Robert Griffin III with the second overall pick in 2012 and then drafted his backup, Kirk Cousins, in the fourth round.

The move ultimately blew up in their faces. Griffin won Rookie of the Year, but struggled with Cousins looming over his shoulder. Griffin was eventually shipped out and Washington installed Cousins as the starter - until he was deemed too expensive to keep and allowed to sign the richest contract in NFL history with the Minnesota Vikings this offseason.
