Trade Hypotheticals and Rumors
-
By the value chart those 8 spots are worth a high 3rd rounder. It's also a sellers markets. They want in the first round without giving up a 1st next year they kind of have to go through us. Again I don't want to see that happen, but I can see the logic

On Tuesday, news surfaced that the Cleveland Browns will not be selecting Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Without Manziel as an option, there are some doubts about whether or not the Browns will be selecting a quarterback with their pick, but that doesn’t mean quarterback in the first round won’t be an option.
The latest pre-draft rumor on ESPN Insider says that Kyle Shanahan and the Browns are interested in trading their No. 26 overall pick to the Washington Redskins in exchange for Kirk Cousins.
If Cleveland goes with a player like Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans at No. 4 overall and passes on a quarterback, trading their second first-rounder is a move that would end up making a ton of sense for both sides.
At No. 26, the Browns would have to consider if Cousins is a higher rated quarterback than whoever would be available. If he is, then trading away the pick would be a no-brainer. For Washington, getting into the first-round of this year’s draft would be an ideal scenario.
Whether or not a trade actually goes down on draft day remains to be seen, but it will be something worth watching over the next 24 hours.

Farmer & co. can't be that dumb

This would be the only scenario that I truly couldn't get behind. If he wants Cousins fine but don't waste a first round pick on him. A single 3rd or 4th rounder is the most I would give up. Cousin's hasn't proved in college or the pro's that he's worthy of a first round pick.

Just stop it now.

They aren't. People blowing smoke out of their ass. Every year QB X who has connections to Coach/FO Person Y is always going to be traded to the Browns for some high draft pick. The only one that was remotely true was Lombardis interest in trading for Hoyer, but even that dumb ass waited until he got cut to pick him up off the street.

This is stupid.
Yesterday on ESPN McShay said he didn't think a QB was going top 4 and that the Browns would likely trade up to 18 or 19 to get their QB. Herm Edwards then said what about trading te 26 for Kirk Cousins.
One day later ESPNs rumor link has something about it.

Best job in the world. Draft reporters. No credibility needed. You can make up your own story and run with it. It's great!

We'll give you the 26th pick- in the seventh round. Why would we even want Cousins? We have Vince Young on the roster, and his career stats are a tad better than Kirk's.
Thank you. another pile of pre-draft horse crap.

I can see Shanahan wanting him. I personally don't see the benefit but I'm not in a position to make that call. If we do go after him, I don't want to severely over pay for him.

I would trade a 3rd for Cousins.
2 years learning Shanny's system and have shown glimpses of being a good QB in this league.

Chiefs looking to deal CB Brandon Flowers?In attempt to stockpile picks, the Kansas City Chiefs may be willing to deal Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers, according to Bleacher Report's Dan Pompei.Teams looking for a starting cornerback in the draft may be hard pressed to find one if they don't strike early. But they may be able to acquire a veteran in a trade. The Chiefs are believed to be willing to deal Brandon Flowers in an attempt to acquire extra draft selections. The corner made the Pro Bowl in 2013 even though he did not have his best season. Pro scouts consider him a tough, scrappy player who is an above-average cover man. Flowers' contract could make a trade difficult. He is due to earn $5.25 million in base salary this year, and at this point of the offseason, not many teams have the type of cap flexibility to acquire a player with that big a number.
