Browns team visits Flutie as draft prep unfolds
Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell downplays overinterpretation of a Boston College visit by coach Marty Schottenheimer and draft supervisor Bill Davis. They studied Doug Flutie's 1984 games, interviewed him, and met BC coach Jack Bicknell as the club weighs options for the April 30 NFL draft. The Browns hold the seventh pick. Buffalo has first. Modell says no QB replacement for Paul McDonald is planned unless a rare deal arises.
