ESPN's Seth Wickersham detailed Jimmy Haslam's turbulent tenure as Cleveland's owner on Thursday, highlighting the Browns 2014 draft that included Texas A&M Johnny Manziel.
Former Browns general manager Ray Farmer was tasked with selecting a quarterback in the first two rounds in the May 2014 draft. After selecting Oklahoma State quarterback Justin Gilbert with the No. 8 overall pick, Farmer eyed Oregon State wideout Brandin Cooks with Cleveland's second first-round pick. Farmer would then shift his focus to a quarterback in the second round with Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr still on the board.
