  • Why the hell is this thread still going? It's an obviously lopsided trade for the Browns, and the guy who came up with it hasn't sourced the "rumor" to anyone.

    Any rumor including Jerry Jones making a splash turns into a possibility. I mean would it really shock you if Jones offered that deal?

    Again, if this was a real rumor, there would be someone talking about it. I haven't heard a peep about this out of anyone noteworthy since this thread was started.

    If the Browns really have someone in mind for the #4, and he's still there, I say no. If he's not still there, then it looks like it could be a good move.

    It has to fit what the Browns are trying to accomplish with this draft, not what Jerry is trying to do to stay relevant.

    Thanks! You just perfectly said what I wanted to say. Since I was having trouble putting it into print, I decided to just "quote" you.

    There is no such thing as a real rumor. The only thing that is real is either a fact or a falsehood.

    I'm assuming you need someone in the media to say it? They're a bit preoccupied today.

    Are you unfamiliar with twitter? Lower tier info can still be reported.

  • I don't do it because out history of trading down isn't that great. Take the marquis player at 4, I would possibly trade down a couple of spots as long as there were some guys there I was high on. Else take the top tier player.

    lol.

    well is it a rumor that jerry jones has said he wants to draft manziel? no.

    if he's afraid someone is going to take him (like us or oakland or minnesota etc. etc.) then he'll have to trade up with someone correct?

    i'm sure it's a rumor that someone has come up with this particular trade specifically and put it out on twatter or wherever else journalists now get their info (bwahaha!!) but it's not a rumor that jones is like a spoiled little child and usually gets what he wants...the greatest show in texas.

  • I started this post as a rumor and a rumor only. I heard it through Twitter and just mentioned as a conversation piece. I don't believe much if anything posted on the draft in the last month has been anything but rumors and speculation. Take it for what it is!

  • Not all rumors are created equal. A tweet from a no-name wahoo or Mary Kay Cabot usually gets handled a bit differently than if it were to come from, say, Adam Caplan or Ian Rapoport.

  • It was a big enough rumor to get coverage on NFL a.m. today. Cowboys brass did not help the rumor any by not denying it when asked. So, valid rumor or not (there's a quantifiable test for this?), it's out there. And as for here, I'm just enjoying the fact that this thread ate up one of the 10 days until the draft (9 days and 27 min now).

    Saying that the cowboys are rumored to trade up for manziel is different than suggesting that they're rumored to offer the browns 16, 46 and 2015 1 for the 4th pick.

    No doubt there. I should have specified, that was where the idea of a (any) trade possibility gained traction. From there, speculation, wishful thinking and boredom likely led to that trade possibility with the Browns.

  • Hell yeah I would do it in a heartbeat.

    #16- Derek Carr

    #26- Xavier Su'a-Filo

    #36- Davante Adams

    #46- Stanley Jean-Baptiste

  • never miss a chance to do another mock featuring derek carr, huh Po?

  • If we made that trade, I would dance like a little girl watching Frozen at a slumber party.

  • Hell no... trading down and taking a QB this year makes absolutely no freaking sense. The only reason to trade down and pick up ammunition for next year would be to trade up to pick up a bonafide top 5 QB.

    This years draft is too good and 4-12 teams pick top 5 for a reason, we need a game changing,superstar,HoF type talent.
