You Have To Be Joking
-
All the times people have said that there's no way we could screw up this draft - this would be about the most screwed up this draft could get.
-
If Browns trade up to Oakland for Ansah I'm rioting at the stadium. Will be glad for a new owner and front office
-
If we pick Ansah at 6 I'll be quite annoyed. Bigger needs to fill - ok, the kid has upside, but we don't have pressing needs there. But if we trade up to get him, I will seriously flip. Do we honestly think someone else will pick him up in the top 5? Are there not enough good players that we can stay at 6 and still get a BPA type? Assuming two LTs go, and a DT, that leaves us with Dion Jordan, Ziggy Ansah and Jarvis Jones at OLB/DE, plus another one or two DTs to dangle as trade bait. Oh, and that Milliner chap everyone's quite keen on.

Ansah would be a great pick at 6, I think he's the best defensive player with the highest upside in the draft. I don't think we can afford to lose the draft picks to move up and get him though. And for the people who say he can't play LB, he ran a 4.6 40 and a twenty yard shuttle on par with the top DB's in the draft and he didn't even train for the combine. Think Terrell Suggs, but he's only scratching the surface.
-
I'm not convinced at 6, we need plug and play starters at the moment and there's definite potential for Ansah to not be that. Upside, sure, tons of it, but we can't afford to miss on these. Trading up would be madness.
Plus, with all our picks, we don't have enough trade value to move up to 3, so if it happens it will mean trading someone (Sheard?) as well.
-
I've had the feeling for a couple days that we are going to fuck up a draft that is almost impossible to fuck up
-
Of course, this whole rumor could just be someone doing this:
-
Yeah could be smoke, I have no problem though trading up for Jordan or Ansah provided the cost is small. Those are the only 2 I would entertain trading up for. And while I think we improved our defense I don't think we have that James Harrison, Terrel Suggs type LB on this team yet even with Kruger. That would almost certainly mean we go DB in the 3rd if this took place.
-
The only reason I see them trading up to #3 is for Milliner or Jordan because of the threat of Philly and/or Detriot taking them. No way they have to worry about Ansah being gone at #6.
