Your problem is that you assume that all these things in the Rams' favor are reasonable, as if other teams don't have their own interests in mind. it's sad, since you're normally not a fan-boy. But in these threads your arguments are on that level. Here's the thing - the Browns have long wanted to get an elite QB, and the reasonable thing is to think they will try to do so in this draft. Certainly nothing in the past two years would make it seem like Manziel is the answer. Or do they normally bench the answer? And why wouldn't the Cowboys want an elite QB to develop for a year or two? The last opportunity they had to draft and develop an elite QB was Aikman, now they have a chance, their starter had two major injuries this past season, and his contract is such that he is going to be amazingly expensive in two years anyway. And why would a team trade for a late teens draft pick (as you have suggested repeatedly), when they can get an elite level prospect plus another pick or two from other teams? And if Goff's bowl game was so fantastic that it showed he was an elite level prospect, a can't miss type - why wouldn't other teams at least recognize him as a very good prospect, and act accordingly?
