Browns trade for BROCK OSWEILER
-
-
Well he's better than RG3 at least there's that AND we have the ammo to trade up for Trubisky after taking Garrett. No loss in this at all.... What a good day from the browns AND we should atleast keep in mind that even though it is a longshot what if he actually is good here?

I think a trade up to get Trubisky along with Garrett could be in the cards since Hue loves him another QB apparently. Those two prior love affairs haven't worked out so well. Three's a charm?

I'd still prefer Davis Webb but I'm a very small minority in that

I bet Sashi fucking owns in madden trades!

Also I think it still remains to be seen how Sashi turns out as a player evaluator, but if he does end up losing his job here some time in the future, you sure as hell can bet he is going to get picked up by a good team to run trades for them. Look at this off the wall trading the past year.
Moved back 27 spots in the 7th round to take Jamie Taylor, a poor performing CB who ended up just needing a change in scenery. Signed him to a new deal after a good year.
Traded a 3rd Comp pick for Jamie Collins, Pro-Bowl LB on the last year of his contract basically to have first rights to sign him. Resigned him.
Now the move back from 4th the 6th round this year to swallow a huge contract and gain a 2nd round pick in 2018.
You don't see other teams in the NFL make these kinds of trades. This is amazing, innovative stuff in the NFL.
Let's not forget:
4th rounder for a 35 year old punter, replaced him with younger one off the street and re-signed to long-term deal.
5th rounder for special teams "player" Bark Mingo who is now a FA.
6th rounder from division rival Steelers for bust Justin Gilbert, who they could not cut fast enough after the season.
Questions?

I'll wait to see this play out but right now, at first take, this looks like a bad move.

Hahahaha well who saw that coming

So we just paid $16 million for a 2nd round pick.
I don't know if that's a good deal or not.
Depends on what we do with the pick.
We've pretty much got the market on backup QB's cornered.

Well thats sort of what if asking.... If another team contacted the Browns and said hey we want to sell you are 2nd round pick for $16 millon would they do it?

Pending no trade/release, are the Browns are on the hook for his full salary?
Just for 1 year..... Zero down side as we had to spend a certain amount anyway, and if we somehow keep him and he works out great, if not, we cut him next year and he has zero impact.

Man I've been telling everyone since the purge that Sashi and this FO are smart guys who are setting this team up for big things and you all just bitched and moaned about analytics and how you wanted "football guys" and not Harvard guys. Well this is what Harvard guys brought you: Coaches Jackson and Williams, Zeitler, Tretter, Britt, Collins, and a shitload of draft picks.
NEWSFLASH! Being smart is GOOD! America used to celebrate that, not mock it. Here is intelligence in all its glory. Love it, embrace it, because it's going to end 18 seasons of sucking.

0-16. Tell me that when we have results. Otherwise it's just hyped up bullshit.

I like the trade and the overall thought process of it, but with that being said, it doesn't matter how many high draft picks we have if we don't hit on them..... So as much as I like what they did, it's only part of the deal and picking the player(s) is the money shot.
and with our draft history, I'll refrain from jumping up and down on the couch.
-
Yes we have to hit on picks. More the merrier in the crapshoot that is the NFL draft.
-
Well....gotta say...this whole trade is interesting, if nothing else....
There has to be more to the plan then just buying a 2nd......Interested to see how this plays out over the coming months....
With all our cash and the massive hole at QB, dont see any risk here....and lots of potential upside.....waiting for part II

Holy shit I love it!

... If another team contacted the Browns and said hey we want to sell you are 2nd round pick for $16 millon would they do it?
Who's money are we playing with?
or
How much do I have?
In fairness, we got a 6th this year and a guy that plays QB to go along with the 2nd.
If money is no object then I think we did well in the numbers game.
But what did we do for the QB position?
Does this preclude us from making any more QB maneuvers? Are we 'all set'? He's our starter?
If so, I'm not thrilled with that part of the deal...but hey, we would now go balls-to-the-wall to get him help to make him successful. And that includes defensive players to get him the ball back.
