Re-Drafting the Quarterbacks From the 2012 NFL Draft Using Advanced Analytics
Five seasons later, how would things be different?

8. Brandon Weeden

And here we were at the bottom of the barrel. Of course, coming out of Oklahoma State, questions surrounded Brandon Weeden and Cleveland took a 28-year-old with the 22nd pick in the draft. Those same questions have been amplified by Weeden's poor play through his career.

Why did the Browns trade the Atlanta Falcons to move up for a rookie already in the prime of his career? Weeden's 12.78 NEP doesn't do anything to answer that question. Neither does his 76 quarterback rating.

Weeden was picked way too soon in the draft, and he's one of the biggest busts in even Cleveland's recent history.
