The Facts:
The Browns are thinking of selecting Texas A&M QB Tannehill with the fourth overall pick in next month's NFL draft, sources with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The possibility exists that three quarterbacks could be taken with the first four picks in the draft. This is a time when teams commonly raise pre-draft smoke screens and engage in subterfuge, but several sources told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora that the Browns are monitoring Tannehill closely and have favorable scouting reports on him thus far. Several general managers said during the recently concluded NFL Annual Meeting that they expect Tannehill's stock to continue to rise through April as he works out more in front of scouts -- an injury prevented him from doing much at the NFL Scouting Combine -- and decision-makers have the opportunity to spend more time with him. Remember: The Browns had been deep in trade talks to acquire the No. 2 overall pick so they could draft Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, though that slot eventually went to the Redskins. Worth noting: While the Browns have supported incumbent starter Colt McCoy, it's also very clear they are open to upgrading at the quarterback position.
