In the NFL draft several QBs go 1 2 3 to Cleveland Philadelphia and Cincinnati with Daunte Culpepper and Cade McNown also selected in the top 12. New Orleans trades all picks and future selections to acquire Heisman winner Ricky Williams, aiding Washington in the process as coach Mike Ditka celebrates with a cigar claiming prayer helped.
The Browns chose Tim Couch as their No. 1 pick citing his character and poise alongside athletic ability. Coach Chris Palmer noted Akili Smith led before Couch's second Lexington workout, and Browns president Carmen Policy emphasized off field integrity. Couch faced a rough first workout March 11 but impressed with perseverance and preparation.
Steve King had dreamed of this moment since youth and Palmer warned Couch he would face a brutal second workout. Couch remained calm, saying he handles pressure well and treats the session like a game, even as others control the cards and changes must be made on the fly.
The agreement totals 48 million over seven years with potential 11.4 million in incentives. A signing bonus of 12.25 million is included. After three years a buyback clause voids the last four years unless Couch meets incentives, or the Browns may retain him by paying 8.75 million as another signing bonus.
