NFL Exec says THIS scenario where Browns trade out of one isn’t crazy
-
Apparently the Patriots are in love with Sam Darnold. If we were to trade #1 to the Pats:
Browns get:
Patriots two first rd picks (23 and 31)
Patriots two 2nd rd picks (43 and 63)
Patriots 2019 1st rd pick
Rob Gronkowski
Patriots get:
1st overall pick
It would leave us with 3 1sts, 5 2nds, the best TE in the league, and another 1st next year. And we’d still get a top QB at 4.
Colin Cowherd poses this scenario, and got a text from an Exec saying it’s not that crazy

The Browns are set at TE. I'd pass on Gronk because he's not guaranteed to ever play again. Add this year's third and next year's second and I'd THINK about trading the Browns 1.4
Perhaps the Pats should consider making that offer to the 49ers for Garoppolo.
-
I'd like to know how many teams have called Dorsey asking if they could have our #1 pick? And what ballpark they're offerings are in...
That would give me a pretty good feel for how valued this year's top QB really is.
We DO know that the Jets made quite the trade just to be in position to pick one of the top THREE QB's. They don't even know which one (or two) will be gone.
.......can you even imagine how deflated all of us QB hungry Browns fans would be if they actually traded the #1 pick away? And then we go ahead, at #4, and pick the QB that the other three teams threw overboard? I'd be too embarrassed to go to work. (luckily, I've scheduled that Friday off)
-
What I don't understand is people on here who think the Browns should just take a QB at #4 when it seems like just about everyone has at least one QB they love and one QB they want nothing to do with...
Yet the Browns are supposed to look at Rosen, Darnold, Allen and Mayfield and say: "Eh, whichever one is left will be fine..."?
Remember too now is when teams do their best to disguise their true intentions in most cases.
I wonder if there will be a fury of trades and moves right through day 1......exciting huh.

Path to the Draft (NFL Network) guys were all joking about the silly season being in full force with the Browns right now so that none of them knew who the Browns really wanted @ 1 & 4, or whether they might trade down even a little bit with either one.

This the best draft ever to just STAY PUT...
We have the pick of the litter of a QB-rich draft at #1. (we didn't clear the QB room and trade for a one year veteran to "see who's available at 4")
I assume Giants are going QB or trading out with someone going QB ... so it goes QB1 QB2 QB3 ...
We get the BPA at #4.
Who gets the top QB prospect and the top all-around prospect in the same year? We do.

I would assume the Giants go with Chubb or Barkley unless we do NOT take the QB Denver wants. Then they might find a customer in Denver without losing out on whomever we don't take in Chubb or Barkley @ #4.

I’ve heard that it’s pretty much set that the Giants will take Darnold at 2 if he’s there

And will they be dumb enough to take Allen if we don't hold true to being Browns and take him ourselves? Will they take Rosen if we take Darnold?

Just please NO to the rumors the Browns are seriously considering Allen at #1. I can live with any of the other three. Taking that Josh at #1 would immediately kill any confidence I have in Dorsey.
I'll agree with the Bill's fans video rating Allen as a second round prospect.

Well, there’s a lot of smoke we’re taking Allen. And if you read between the lines, it’s looking pretty clear.
While Darnold is still working out with other teams, Josh Allen was just hanging out at the Masters. If the Browns wanted Darnold, do you think they’d let him workout with other teams and risk injury? No way, these players are multimillion dollar investments. Even the Jets, who pick at 3, just scheduled a workout with Darnold. They probably didn’t before because they just assumed we were taking Darnold at 1...
Meanwhile, have we seen Josh Allen visiting and working out for any teams recently? The Browns probably told Allen “We’re taking you at 1, no more workouts. Just relax until the draft”

That's a thing?
If a player is so fragile that hurts himself in a workout... ala Teddy B in a non-contact, practice drill... then I'd consider that knowledge a pick saving plus.

When have the pats ever I repeat ever moved up lot alone in the first round to get a QB the answer is never. So that tells me how good Sam Donald is why would you give him away give them the fourth pack and get there first and second. Otherwise this will be another Cleveland move.

Absolutely it’s a thing. These are million dollar investments. You’re not going to let your prom date go hang out with other guys 3 weeks before the prom.

I'm a Darnold and Barkley guy.
Don't know what the Browns are thinking, but it would be a pairing of:
Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen
and
Barkley, Chubb
Unless I am missing something.
I think Quenton Nelson is out because we have a ton of money locked up at Guard, and the DBs and LBs are tantalizing, but I don't think they are the game changers that Chubb and Barkley are.
So we are getting our clear favorite, vetted by our extensive personnel staff, QB and we're either lining up Chubb opposite of Garrett or adding the best RB prospect in years to our backfield.
Can't blow this ... can we?

In years? I think that both Fournette and Zeke Elliot were as good or better RB prospects. Maybe we get the best RB prospect...This year. If he is the choice.
The thought of Garrett and Chubb as bookends is an enticing thought.

I actually think that Garrett NEEDS Chubb....in order to have the impact the he was 'supposed' to have when we drafted him. (I guess I'm suggesting that Garrett isn't quite what he was cracked up to be)
