According to NFL insider Dan Graziano, the plan for the Browns all along was to get a veteran quarterback to help slowly integrate their new quarterback into the NFL.
Browns’ offseason plan for QB has been to acquire a veteran to serve as a “bridge, then take a QB with the No. 1 pick. Step one complete, with Tyrod Taylor.

It has been quite the day for the Browns. Earlier it was announced that the Browns had traded for wide receiver Jarvis Landry from the Miami Dolphins. In that trade, the Browns sent two other draft picks in exchange for the young receiver. Now, the Browns have a solid receiver and a veteran quarterback, exactly what they wanted.
Though Taylor has not played great in Buffalo, he did just enough last year to help them get to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. They ended up losing that game, but it was still a nice accomplishment.
This now leaves the Bills without a quarterback. They can either sign one in free agency, trade up in the draft to get one, or they can do both.
On top of all these trades, the Browns still have free agency and the first and fourth overall picks in the draft. If you are a Browns fan, this could become an exciting time for you.
