As for character issues I don't recall there is a video of Sam Darnold getting chased down by the cops.

The Browns thought they knew better than everyone else when they picked Johnny Manziel. I don't know whether Mayfield is another Manziel but the fact is they could have gotten him by trading down since other teams wanted Darnold first. Likewise they screwed it up by picking a CB over a prime DE at 4. Not as big a fuck up as picking Mayfield but almost everyone ranked Chubb ahead of Denzel Ward.

Time will tell but my money is on the Browns screwing the pooch once more.
