it should be worth mentioning that Heckert always would say "You should fill needs with free agency and trades, with the draft you draft the best available player."

Browns acquire Chris Gocong and Sheldon Brown from Eagles
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 2, 2010 11:58 AM ET
Well, the Browns-Eagles trade didn't take too long to finalize after all.
The Eagles officially announced they have traded cornerback Sheldon Brown and linebacker Chris Gocong to the Browns for linebacker Alex Hall, a fourth-round pick (No. 105), and a fifth-round pick (No.137) in the 2010 draft.
The Browns had 12 picks in this draft, so the move acquires two possible starters at a reasonable cost. This isn't like Phil Savage mortgaging the team's future for early picks. It's the Browns getting some capable veterans to upgrade their talent to tide them over while the team reloads.
It's expected that Cleveland will re-negotiate Brown's contract.
It's unclear where Gocong will play in Cleveland's 3-4 defense, but he's not great in coverage so providing depth at inside linebacker makes sense. He wasn't a long-term solution as a starter in Philadelphia.
Hall has flashed some pass rush ability, and will likely compete at the strong-side linebacker spot for Philadelphia.
Ultimately, we think the Browns got a solid starting cornerback for a fair price. But it's not a game-changing move for either team.

We have a couple nice linebackers, but we still need a play making type. We really dont have anyone special.

You almost have it
The Cleveland Seaglets
Needed to add the jets to the other part. As long as where getting solid players and starters, I do not care who we are getting them from. Today's additions where a great trade for us.

I was browsing the Eagles forum and a poster pointed out that Brown has never missed a game due to injury. He played through a groin injury last year and still played at a pro bowl level, for being 31 theres not really a durability issue

I knew there was a better one out there! I like this trade, we need more eagles on our team. I'm just not so sure about adding any more Seahawks.
