If the Browns draft Brady Quinn or Troy Smith I will...

Absolutely go on a shooting spree. I'm talking rampage, blood, death, crying, the whole nine. The Browns need to draft 600 lb O-Line guys with every pick and hope 1 or 2 of them can be a competent blocker in the NFL. That or a Linebacker. Draftng offensive players out of college is the biggest crap shoot there is. If a guy is good enough to be a defensive stud in college, he will be solid in the NFL, the same does not go for WRs, RBs and QBs. The reason is that most High School defensive beasts get to college only to be turned into Wideouts and TEs, whereas if a guy is so beastly on D that he remains on D in college and can stop the flurry of physically gifted (but empty headed) college running backs and WRs, there's a much higher chance he'll be a baller in the pros. Ignore Mario what's-his-name from last year (which is not to say he's not solid, just not worth the #1 pick).

I will allow them to pick Peterson. I believe a truly great back can make an O-line better than it deserves to be. The Okie could be that guy. I'm not saying it makes up for Big Money over LT (the not-Lawrence-Taylor one), but it might come close.
