  • Good point, who is going to trade up to #1 overall and then not take the highest rated QB?

    Good question. When is the last time that someone traded up to like #1 or #2 and took something other than a quarterback?

    (I don't know the answer)

    The Browns traded up to #3 to take Richardson. Of course, we now know how stupid that was.

    Orlando Pace ?

  • Yup... Pace in '97.

    The #1 overall has only been traded away 5 times including last year by the Titans. All five times have been in "the modern era".

    Three times the target was a QB (Goff, Vick, George).

    In addition to the Rams tabbing Pace, Cinci traded up to the #1 overall in '95 and took Ki-Jana Carter (RB).

    What were the terms of that trade?

  • Again, this thread is just for spitballing. Lets say hypotheticall that the 49ers, Bears and Jets all lusted over the same player...say the QB. But lets say that the Browns put it out that they too would consider this same player.....but that they would be willing to consider a trade down with each of these teams to move down so that they could take who they want at #1.

    What would it take to make a trade down with:

    A. the 49ers, swapping 1 for 2

    B. the Bears, swapping 1 for 3

    C. the Jets, swapping 1 for 6

    Or lets say that it is not the QB, but the defensive player, which the Browns also express in interest in, but also have an interest in trading down. Could this bring the Jags and the Titans into the game...or some team below them?

  • from St Louis and was wondering any talk in Cleveland about moving down? as good as Garrett is adding more picks sure makes sense. Thanks

  • Not much really, no.

  • Not this year...

    Yes, some. There was a whole thread on it. Someone had suggested a move down to #5 with the Tits. Can't recall the details, I will have to look it up. But that one sounded feasible to me.

  • Perhaps merge these two threads?

    We're not trading down get right the fuck out of here. No mood to hear all the leagues fans trying to convince browns fans another trade down to acquire mediocre talent is the right call

  • Fuck right off with that bullshit

    What if we traded with San Diego and they gave us Bosa and their Number 7? 😉

    The #1 is not in play, short of an insane offer. We're tired of missing out on stud players. Bosa,Mack, Jones for starters.

    Ok well that's not exactly trading down

  • I did not see it in this thread, but somewhere else a suggestion was made that because the Tits are so slaverish over getting a pass rusher, that the Browns trade The #1 overall to the Titans for their #5 overall....and the #18 overall which they also own.

    That would give the Browns: #5, #12, #18, #33, #52, #65 plus we have #103. That would give the Browns 7 of the Top 103 picks.

    And what to do with them?

    Fill primary needs:

    QB

    DB

    LB/DE

    OT/OC

    DT

  • I've always maintained the worst move we never made was in 1999 when we let Ditka give his entire draft including #12 in the first round plus his #1 and #3 in 2000 to Washington for Ricky Williams.

    We would have had a cadre of picks to form a substantially better nucleus moving forward.

    I like the idea of adding the Titans two #1s. Assures us of Allen/Garret/Foster or a QB. Count me in Team Gip.

  • Titans aren't moving up. You don't move up to #1 unless it's for a franchise QB anymore.

    I agree they are not moving up, but for a different reason. There will be a quality pass rusher available @ #5. Too many excellent ones this year's draft besides Garrett. Let's say Garrett goes #1 as expected. And at least one of SF or Chi takes a QB. Then you have Allen, Barnett and Thomas with Allen likely to go before #5. That leaves two very excellent pass rushers, one of which the Tits can take.

    Therefore, no trade with Cleveland by the Tits. Logical? I think so.

  • last I looked QB's are sort of important...and this draft is filled with mid rd qb prospects and will likely need a late 1 for Garrappola..trading down for a mid #1 makes sense to fill your greatest need

    Donald didn't make the Rams a winning team and neither did Bosa make San Diego a Super Bowl team..till you fidna QB the Browns will keep losing.

    my question was fair but received a lot of scary stupid answers..hopefully the idiots will post elsewhere or I will
