You give Smith a damn good offensive line, a couple of good RBs and a decent enough defense to win some games. Smith can bring that winning culture back to the Browns while the rookie sits and learns for a year.

I totally agree. And with Browns fans already worked up about not just the failure but the absolute shit show that was Manziel, Weeden, and Brady Quinn... it would be absolutely stupid to throw a first round rookie into that fire unless you were 100% convinced he could be excellent right away. Best play is to draft a 1st round QB and bring in a stable veteran like Alex Smith to stabilize that franchise.
