McNabb headed to Washington
-
Well, Clausen is gonna fall like a rock now. Seattle may take him but I see it more likely that they'll reach for Spiller there. Berry is the great unknown at this point. I'm not sure if anyone knows what will haooen in the top 7 but here's my revised list due to recent developements.
1. Bradford
2. Okung
3. Suh
4. Bulaga
5. G. McCoy
6. Spiller
7. Berry
The problem here is, if this scenerio plays out like this, Colt will not be there in the 2nd for us. If we want him, we may have to give up some more picks to move up. Or, would I would rather see is our original plan of finding a guy in the 3rd or later.

Well, after years of booing their perennial Pro Bowl QB leading their otherwise mediocre team to the NFC Championship Game every other year, Philly fans finally get what they deserve. McNabb is awesome, and deserves to play in a city that will actually appreciate him.
I'm gonna laugh when Philly goes 6-10 next year under their beloved savior Kolb, maybe then they'll realize what they had in McNabb.

Donovan McNabb trade affects Browns too

Browns GM Tom Heckert will contend with his former team when the NFL Draft begins in three weeks.

The Washington Redskins acquired the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback from the Philadelphia Eagles for a second round draft pick in 2010 and a conditional fourth round pick in 2011.
The Eagles trade of McNabb to division rival Washington will directly impact the power structure of the NFC East.
It will also indirectly affect one team in the AFC North.
With the acquisition of the 37th overall pick and the 70th overall pick gained from Seattle last year, the Eagles now pick directly in front of the Cleveland Browns who sit at 38 and 71.
Considering Browns GM Tom Heckert spent the past six years running the draft in Philadelphia, so there is bound to be interesting interaction between the two clubs.
Making matters more interesting, Heckert brought the draft and scouting information with him from Philadelphia to Cleveland.
"I have the stuff that I've done this year," he admitted in a February press conference.
Such a situation presents a double-edged sword for the Browns.
On one hand, Cleveland should have an in-depth understanding of what Philadelphia may look to do with their picks. The Browns could move up or down according to whom they believe will be available when they pick in the second and third rounds.
At the same time, drafting behind a team with a similar board decreases the chance of a specific player falling to the Browns.
Consequentially, they may be forced to move ahead two slots at a cost which otherwise would not have had to be paid.
It remains to be seen whether the McNabb trade hurts or helps the Browns.
Like it or not, Cleveland and Philadelphia will be tied together come draft weekend - a weekend which just became that much more interesting.
“The Wait Is Over, The Browns Will Be In The Playoffs This Year!" -
trading up to the #4 slot may be a little steep for a safety.. i love berry but safeties get injured like no other in the nfl because of their size and nature of their position. not only would we be giving up a lot to move ahead 3 spots, but it would be for a player in a position that most experts think shouldnt be picked in the top 10... now if bradford were there at 4, that would be a different story...
I agree. If we trade up to the #4, it will only be if Bradford is on the board still, not for Berry.
Also, KC won't draft Berry if he's on the board for them, because Pioli doesn't think Safety is a position you draft top 10.

I agree.....Berry isn't the type of player you trade up for....at least when you are a team with as many issues as we have.
Now matter how the draft falls through the first 6 picks, we are still going to have several players who will be good and fit a current hole.

What's amazing to me is that Jason Campbell has come out to say that he was "shocked". Hey genius, you haven't exactly LIT IT UP...

I'm a little late chiming in on this topic, but don't it seem that they gave away McNabb?
Early talks were a first round pick (+) for him then they settle on a second and third, and gave him too a division rival none the less?????
Seems like they just said Fu*k it here ya go. Either way washington got a hell of a deal for a solid vet.

Interesting article, but isn't this alway the case with the Browns? Either New England, the Jets, and now the Eagles are attached at our hip because of the revolving door at the helm.

Bridges, this isn't any different than what happens at other teams. We just don't pay attention. McDaniels and Pioli both were trying to get Cassel from the Pats. Vrabel got sent to KC. The Dolphins brought over a ton of Cowboys when Parcells and Sparano took over.
