  • ^ Agree 100%

  • A) Nobody is worth it, trading up is dumb especially for bad teams

    B This FO would never give up picks like that, thankfully

    I would agree with A....as I wouldnt chose to move up like that myself(I prefer lotsa high picks)....but IF they moved up, Adams would be my preference....who would yours be?

    But....I cannot agree with B.....they are making the calls, so they are considering it.....

    Due diligence requires calls to be made, they're not doing their job properly if they don't. I'd be beyond stunned if this front office gives up multiple first rounders in any trade.

  • my hope is that they are just blowing smoke about trading up so a player or players they really covet fall to 12

    but if we did I agree it has to be adams

  • Ok...so you're not upto hypotheticals....thats cool....

    .....anyone else have a pick?

  • Adams misses on tackles often so wouldn't be him for me.

    Reuben Foster maybe but he has a concussion history already.

    I'm struggling...

  • If they are trading away next year's 1st rd. pick, then that means they are not after a QB next year. So the obvious answer is they are going after a QB now.

    Big mistake.

    Well...we are in the same boat on the struggling part.....cause, as much as I like Adams(and a few others) none are worth the move....

    especially for a QB.....

    Im hoping a lot of people chime in, as Im certain....that IF it happens.....it will instantly be deemed brilliant by many....

    But...Im stating right now....with plenty of advance notice.....that I will probably flip out....continuously....for like a year or 5....or however long it takes to get to the SB!

  • After Garrett. Thomas or Adams maybe the only dopeless. Uninjured candidates left 😉. I only take any of these QB's as a no reach value any round. I see us maybe paying little, in late round move ups. If Sashi's presser is true at looking at 2018 candidates. Noway he is giving up his next years 1st round if he sees the QB crop coming out.(lock Jimmy in a ho--tel8) sign me up for Jimmy G or Sit & Pick..

  • I agree with the OP, and hope the Browns let the draft come to them, but I'm worried that Haslam is impatient and demanding a high profile QB. He strikes me as having thin skin and hearing the media bitch and moan about missing out on what ended up being a less than mediocre prospect has made him antsy.

    The only 2 players I would be happy with in a trade up are Allen or Adams. I know the shoulder thing is a concern for many people, but I still think Allen has at least 8 years of kickass in him. Solomon is a nice prospect, but I'm not as high on him as everyone else seems to be.

  • Haslam needs to stay the fuck away and let people he pays a lot of money to, do their damn jobs

    Yup, the last thing Cleveland needs is Jerry Jones 2.0

  • I'll bite....# 12 & Gordon to Tenn...Trubisky @5 (Not my guy but I can see Haslams desire to sell jerseys...They won't be able to keep in the stores in Mentor)

    Titans can still grab a solid defender, and if Gordo stays clean.... Boom!!! Mariota has his #1

  • No reaching for anyone. Like the old saying. Let the chips fall where they may.

  • No trade ups ....I would consider trading down at 12 tho .......depending how far and the offer but only if as expected Jamal Adams, Malik Hooker and OJ Howard are all gone by then

  • Myles Garrett @ #1 then either...

    Leonard Fournette or Mitch Trubisky... What if we could get both.

    Then add either Sam Rogers or Freddie Stephenson at FB later in the draft.

    Getting Gordon back and then with those guys... that's a game changer brother!

    QB- Trubisky/Oz/Kess/Hogan

    RB- Fournette/Crowell/Johnson

    FB- Rogers or Stephenson

    WR- Gordon/Britt/Coleman/Hollywood

    That would be an awesome Offensive unit. Add in our All-Pro Offensive Line and we're golden.

    On Defense we would be nice on the front 7.

    Garrett/Shelton/Bryant/Nassib

    Orchard/Collins/Kirksey/Ogbah

    Haden/Taylor/BBC/Caldwell

    Kindred/Powell/Campbell

    And there it is...

    But since we're playing... I don't have one. At least one impact player will fall to us at 12... I sit there and wait for them.

    EDIT: I do have to add tho that in those long pauses in Rounds 3 and 4 a lot of really good talent is going to come off the board. I can see packaging lower picks to grab a player or two in that range.

    The 3rd will be very difficult to move into, however, since there's so far to go to have picks to work with. The 4th's proximity to our Round 5 picks will make it a little easier.

    Best way to fill either gap? Tradedowns... anything from the #12 thru pick 3.01 can yield a little fill should we not like our immediate choices were we to stand pat.

    You should know my thinking by now. If he falls that far- Trubs @ #5 from the Titans. We give them back their #52, and maybe another low pick next year. Anything more, (or moving up any higher) we roll the dice. Got a feeling Mitch isn't going to be there @ #12. If he's already off the board @ #5, we stand pat, and take BPA- and not Watson. MHO on him is he's going to be a mega bust. (OK- way back, I was wrong about Donovan McNabb, but not Akilli Smith) like to think I've learned a few things since.

    Tour beat me to that one- still can't figure out how Jerry Jones pulled that one off.
