Cleveland Browns: 5 Worst Draft Picks Since 1999
3. QB Brady Quinn (2007- 22nd Overall)
Brady Quinn was mediocre at best when given the opportunity to play. He had trouble fending off a spiraling Derek Anderson during the 2009 season, his last in Cleveland. He ended his career with 12 touchdowns 17 interceptions in 24 games played with the Browns and Kansas City Chiefs.

Adding salt to the wound, Phil Savage, the general manager at the time, was so high on Quinn he traded the team’s 2008 first round pick to Dallas to move up and get his guy. He was fired a little over a year later in December of 2008.
For lack of a better term, Quinn just wasn’t any good. In 2010 he was traded to the Denver Broncos for running back Peyton Hillis and a sixth round pick, just three years after the team took him in the first round. He didn’t appear in another game until 2012.
In hindsight, the only thing Quinn brought to the city of Cleveland was Hillis and a Madden cover. Oh, and he’s the inaugural member of the infamous club of Browns quarterbacks drafted at 22 overall.
Unfortunately, all three players made this undesirable list.
