NFL Exec says THIS scenario where Browns trade out of one isn’t crazy
-
What I should have stated more clearly is that I'm tired of reading & hearing all these "self appointed experts" with their mock drafts, opinions, & criticizing experienced professionals when their opinions (speculation) don't match (I'm not speaking of just the Browns). These last 2 weeks can't fly by soon enough for me.
I prefer to read or hear facts rather than speculation & gossip, of which a little goes a long way. Dez Bryant was cut (fact). I don't give a damn about all the soap opera sh*t that's being reported about his situation......Bring back Joe Friday ("Just the facts, Ma'am).
THERE! Please pardon my venting.

The problem is that the draft is just held too late. It really ought to be held in Mid March.

The bigger the gap between the players actually playing football and the Draft, the bigger the chance teams do stupid things.

Yeah what's next a 5 day miniseries before preseason starts?
I still miss the old Saturday / Sunday R1 and R2 just for us football junkies and not spread out over three days each with less interest to the general public.
It should be about 5 or 6 weeks maximum after the greatest event in sports the Super Bowl and not a month into MLB season and during the NBA and NHL playoffs. Bad timing NFL brass plus we football fans get burned out waiting that long.

I've actually grown to enjoy the Thurs/Fri/Sat format, after hating it initially.

Having the R1 32 then see you tomorrow I don't like, maybe R1 and R2 but viewership would drop after that and that's what this is all about, ratings.
I used to get my papers, lists a big cold beverage and handful of cigars and go out on the deck and watch it on ESPN Saturday morning and again Sunday, way more like real football not the primetime miniseries it's become now.
Well it goes to Ft. Worth, TX this coming week then will travel, that might be interesting.

I also like the current split even if Day 3 gets hectic. But most of that is owed to the "Who's he?" nature of it for all save the most die-hard of fans.
Were it not for the increasing emphasis on theDraft as a live event for fans, I could see the draft held on three consecutive Saturdays split R1, R2/3, and R 4-7. The one-week gaps would give plenty of time for reflection upon the picks made and needs remaining, and create even more drama around the first pick(s) of each day... especially #33 overall.

Yeah remember many years back it was a football event with only the most rabid fans attending?
Now it is a media event designed like many things now to "monetize" everything including the host cities benefits from the show coming to town....kind of like ESPN Gameday for the NCAA football games.
I wonder how much fun it will be for the Cleveland Browns fans if they don't pick first next year, let's hope.

Saturday is for the draft junkies, for the normal fans- it's who's he?

I saw on twitter the question asked would the Browns take #12, #22, #53, #56 and a first next year to trade out of #1 with Buffalo
What do people think a) the Browns would do and b ) what would YOU do

Only if I was sure that Taylor is my real franchise QB. I would then have to chose between Chubb and the top CB @ 4. Still left in a dilemma. What affects my entire draft no matter what is how Ogbah is coming back from his injury. I don't know and I'm not sure anyone here knows either. I really wanted to see Ogbah and Garrett both in full health on the field for the whole season to develop some real QB pressure, but God hates the Browns.

No. We've got enough picks, let's start acquiring players.

What would it be like with Ogbah, Garrett, and Chubb all lined up on the DL? With like Ogunjobi manning the other interior spot? It has been done before: Reggie White, JJ Watt....Joey Bosa of recent vintage (at least while at OSU)....all went inside/outside.
A new Fearsome Foursome? though they could not be called that. A new name would have to be devised.

Browns still have #1, #4, #33, #35 and #64...which should get them good young talent. That really is more than enough infusion of young. Browns need to get better, not necessarily younger......which is what a lot of Dorsey's move this offseason have been about.
And, of course, don't be surprised if the Browns actually end up with fewer than the 9 picks they have. I fully anticipate them trading some of those second rounders to move up in the draft to have another first rounder.

I don't see us giving up our choice of the QB prospects. I know I would not.

I’d make that deal for #4 which is possible if Buffalo gets desperate

Nope, 12 is too low. We already turned down three seconds to move to #6. As others have said quality, not quantity.
