Not in the slightest.

Just that in hindsight if/when Manziel inevitably fails because the odds are against any first round QB, much less a high risk high reward guy like Manziel, people will look back at a 2015 draft where the Browns had 2 firsts as ammo and a lot of bad teams like the Jags and Raiders having just taken young promising QBs high and being willing to trade down and find yet another annoying "what if woulda coulda shoulda" that slowly creeps into sports media lore and gets brought up every April.

Cleveland media loves to bring up re-draft filler articles/discussions on radio and a lot of fans lament it constantly as well.

I would think that high round QB picks had a better chance of failing because they had to perform immediately and unless they're like Andrew Luck they won't be that successful.

Like, Aaron Rodgers took a few years to get unfucked and if he had started right off the bat he probably wouldn't have been notable either.
