Browns make trade with Rams
-
so, he's that enamored with beaver cleaver bradford.
so it is. i do love that the franchise's future will be present on day-one for the offensive install at Lake Erie WCO University.
he'll have a bright mentor well versed in the system to pop quiz at will, and a solid veteran showing him how it's done on the field. ironically, Jake has a two year contract...i can't imagine a better situation right now.

Supposedly more than a few teams are and one of them (granted also a Rumor) is the Steelers. Either way the Stains will have to unload A LOT to get the number one pick in the draft. It's a bold move because as others have said on this very board, if Bradford doesn't pan out in this scenario the franchise is set back yet again.

This better NOT BE TRUE... why does everyone think Bradford is the best thing since sliced bread?! he was a good college qb... but not great. And he's a spread offense qb.. name me successful college qbs who ran spread offenses and are also successful in the nfl. The ONLY one (and this is a HUGE reach) would be alex smith. Stay at 7!! This would be a GREAT trade for the rams.

Oh really? What about Drew Brees? He ran the spread offense in college and was successful in college and is successful in the NFL.

I'd say if you transplanted a rookie Couch in to the league right now with a Browns organization on the mend you'd have a franchise QB. He just came out at the wrong time. You can't blame Couch. I also believe Bradford is legit.

i'd hate it too...if he sucked.can you imagine them trading up to #1 for anyone else than bradford? it would have to be for him.
if true the QB guru's cred is on the line for about the 5th time in as many months.
it's clear this new regime has no problem making a decision.

Chickenwang said:
Bradford on the Browns = Tim OuchI respectfully disagree. This team has a strong running game and a pretty good pass blocking line. Add another receiving threat and there will be weapons to use. Plus, if the browns picked up bradford he won't be thrown in immediately, he will be given time to learn first

Adam_Schefter The St. Louis Rams and QB Sam Bradford will not have a contract in place before the draft -- both sides' decision.

First time in 3 years the #1 pick wasnt signed before the draft. There leaving it open for a possible trade, I just hope it aint us. I like the draft to much to have it over before it starts lol

Why? Because you think we would give up too much. I doubt it. I rather have 2 great players than 6 shitty players. Get my point, capische?

John Clayton just said virtually no chance Browns trade for Bradford.
I agree with him but remember he did say that there was a 100% chance Holmgren would fire Mangini.

No you GTFO this board. Are you the one that posted that we traded for Brandon Marshall a few weeks ago?? Dont report something that just isnt true. You should be banned for that!!!!!! Rumors are just what they are rumors!!!! There was a rumor that Big Ben was getting traded to St. Louis for 2 first round picks. Does this make it true since it was a swirling rumor?? Separate your facts for here say. Well i see you switched it to make the topic say rumor now so ill give you a little credit for that now.

Adam Schien actually confirmed this. So It's just not a rumor.

I know we would give up to much, your willing to give up our draft this year and part of next years for a QB from a conference known for great college QB's that couldnt translate into the NFL? I'd rather build a solid team and fill in with solid vet QB's untill your able to draft the ONE.
Im not saying I dont like Bradford, cause I really do; but the next great pro quarterback you see from the Big 12 will be the first. Maybe Bradford will be it but Im not willing to risk 10 more years of misery to find out

Straight from the horses(Holmgrems) mouth: http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/i...ch-for-top-pick
'Mortgage the ranch' for top pick?

Ricky Williams and Desmond Clark are the only active players remaining from the 1999 blockbuster trade that featured Mike Ditka trading the Saints' entire draft, plus two high future choices, for one pick.
The trade came to mind after suggestions that Cleveland could have interest in acquiring the first overall pick from the Rams. I'd be surprised if the Browns gave up what it would take to land the top pick. Their entire draft is worth 2,692 points on the draft value chart. The chart probably overvalues the top choice by assigning a 3,000-point value, but even if the top pick were discounted to 2,000 points, the Browns would be giving up the seventh and 38th overall picks.
The Saints gave up 1,575 points worth of 1999 picks, plus first- and third-round choices in 2000, to get the fifth overall choice in the 1999 draft from the Bears. The chart values the fifth choice at 1,700 points.
The deal drew initial criticism, but the players drafted with the Saints' old picks -- Clark, LaVar Arrington, D'Wayne Bates, Cade McNown, Khari Samuel, Lloyd Harrison, Billy Miller, Nate Stimson -- didn't meet expectations in most cases.
Browns president Mike Holmgren on moving up to draft quarterback Sam Bradford: "'Look it, he's a coveted young man. To be able to go up and change somebody's mind ahead of us, you'd have to mortgage the ranch. You remember when coach Ditka did that with his picks and then he went and played golf.' Absolutely, we love the player, as do a lot of people. But in the real world, we're probably going to go in a different direction there.''

Brees, Rapeburger, and Kolb all ran the spread in college.
Have you seen the Patriots in the last few years?? They essentially run a spread pass-oriented offense. I think Bradford will be just fine.
You have to look at quarterbacks and project how their skill set translates into the NFL. The fact remains that Bradford has ideal height, weight (after bulking up this offseason), incredibly smart (highest Wonderlic of the QB's this year), has a big enough arm to make every NFL throw, and is very very accurate.
