Last week Browns football czar Mike Holmgren said he doesn't envision his team taking Jimmy Clausen with the seventh pick nor does he foresee a quarterback being taken in the second round.
But was he telling the truth?
The Browns are reportedly working out Colt McCoy who is expected to be drafted at the end of the first round or early second round.
And, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, their interest in McCoy is genuine.
Hearing Browns interest in Colt McCoy is real – either w 2nd round pick or package picks to move into bottom of 1st rd. Don’t rule it out.
SB Nation's Andrew Sharp has an interesting take on this subject and suggests taking McCoy would be an unwise move.
Whether it's smart or not, it's not like taking McCoy would be unheard of.
The Browns are currently sporting Jake Delhomme on a two-year contract. The same Jake Delhomme that's imploded at nearly stop since a five-interception 2008 playoff game. Then there's Seneca Wallace, who hasn't completed over 60% of his passes in any season he's thrown over 140 passes.
Texas' QB Colt McCoy is generally regarded as the third or fourth best quarterback option in the 2010 NFL Draft behind Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen and, depending on who you ask, Tim Tebow.
Several teams in the top ten of the draft are reportedly seeking a pre-draft visit with him.
The Bills are one of those teams and SB Nation's Buffalo Rumblings breaks down McCoy.
One of the most decorated winners in college football history, McCoy is a four-year starter that helped guide the Longhorns to a 45-8 record over the past four years after taking over the starting job from Vince Young as a redshirt freshman. The 6'1", 216-pound McCoy is regarded as a second- or third-round talent, though scouts are worried not just about his playing abilities, but about a pinched nerve in his throwing shoulder that he suffered in January's BCS National Championship Game.
The Browns are the latest team to set up a visit with McCoy, according to ESPN's James Walker.
The visits overlap a bit as the Bills will be meeting with him on April 11th-12th and the Browns will see him after his visit on the 12th and into the 13th.
Both teams pick in the top ten of the first round which means they're also in the top ten of the second round. McCoy is likely an option with either club's second round pick.

Report: Rams Schedule Texas QB Colt McCoy For A Private Workout
The assumption for quite some time has been that the Rams will select Sam Bradford with the No. 1 overall pick. However, recent reports indicate that they won't make their final decision until at the earliest April 19th when they conduct a private workout with the Oklahoma quarterback.
In the meantime, the Rams are checking out other quarterback options.
According to ESPN's James Walker, Colt McCoy will get a workout from the Rams sometime before the April 22nd draft.
McCoy went through his pro day down in Austin, TX on Wednesday and, according to SB Nation's Mocking the Draft, the Rams (or Lions) were not in attendance.
Mocking the Draft has a good rundown on McCoy's pro day where he completed every single pass attempted.
