Former NFL scout suggests Matt Flynn might be the Cleveland Browns' best QB option

"Dan Shonka has a theory about the Browns, and it starts with Matt Flynn.

The former scout for three NFL teams now runs Ourlads.com, which handicaps the draft each year. Shonka has quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III rated as the top two players in the draft -- and he believes they are likely to be the first two picks, with someone trading up with St. Louis to grab Griffin.

So where does that leave the Browns?

"Let's start with the fact that I think RG III has played almost all of his career in the [shot]gun," said Shonka. "But he's a rare individual. He can learn to take snaps under center. He has the intelligence and ability to learn any system. He's an excellent athlete, he has great feet. I think he could learn the West Coast offense."

But Shonka believes Griffin will be so attractive that the Rams will pull a huge deal for their No. 2 pick. It won't be with the Browns.

"They need too many players," he said.

So what will the Browns do?

"Matt Flynn is a perfect fit for their offense," Shonka said. "The book on him is not big. He started one year at LSU, and I admit we had him as a fifth- or sixth-rounder. In the NFL, he has two good games -- against New England and the Lions. He has great receivers in Green Bay. But I think he can play, and he is already in a West Coast offense." "
