Browns fans getting tired of worn out storylines

The Browns missed in the draft
The latest asinine trend is for announcers to point out that the Browns failed to draft the opposing teams’ super rookie.
At first, before the Eagles took a downturn, it was Carson Wentz and the Wentz wagon (which seems to have hit a ditch). How many weeks did Browns fans have to endure how the almighty and super quarterback Carson Wentz was there for the taking and the incompetent Browns passed on him?
Or like this past week, the Browns passed on Dak Prescott five times (or some other nonsense) in favor of Cody Kessler. Or, the Browns passed on Ezekiel Elliot. Browns fans must be imagining what their running game could be if he were in the backfield. Hello! The Browns don’t run the ball because the defense is terrible.
Yes, the Browns didn’t draft any rookie that is currently playing on the other team. We get it.
But did you notice that the Browns did draft Corey Coleman, Emmanuel Ogbah, Carl Nassib, and Cody Kessler? All of these players are contributing on the team. Three of those players were up for the Rookie of the Week honors.
But nobody mentions that on the television broadcast.
I understand that the national narrative is that the Browns stink. I get that every broadcast has to reinforce that idea to fans. But maybe if they looked a little deeper into the subject matter, they might find there are a lot of interesting and positive things going on for the Browns.
Or maybe they are all like Harry Doyle who said, “Don’t worry, nobody’s listening anyway.”
