    Yet you won't have a clue for another 3-5 years.......at how Dorsey effs it up.

    So....why don't you shat da fack ap until then?

  • Cowherd thinks Pats could offer us both their 1's and both 2's this year and 1 next year for our number 1 and might even throw in Gronk .....deluded

    Must be running out of material to suggest something like that.

    1) IF the Bills wanted Darnold equally bad, they can throw a far superior draft package than the Patriots at the Browns- we've already discussed it. 

    2) Cleveland already has three second round picks, five is a crazy number. (Sashi might have been interested)

    3) Bill won't do anything THAT crazy. He can sit where he is and take either Rudolph or Jackson at #23 and give up nothing. Or even Mike White or Lauletta even later.  He took Garroppolo in the second round...  

  • Been playing around with scenarios for the "3 team trade" and I actually wonder if it's in place as 2 separate trades on draft day, with an understanding that the Bills get their guy at #2.

    *Trade 1: Buffalo sends 1.12, 1.22, 3.1 and a 2019 1st to Giants for #2
    *Trade 2: Giants send 1.12, 1.22 to Cleveland for #4

    Giants get: #4, #65 and a 2019 1st
    Cleveland gets: #12 and #22
    Buffalo gets #2

    In theory, Buffalo gets their guy with assurances that it's not who the Browns take at #1 (Cleveland says hey we are taking X, and Buffalo says great, we want Y, we make this deal contingent on you taking X on draft day). The Giants get to stick in the Top 4 and get the Top non-QB (presumably Barkley or Chubb, but I'm leaning Barkley) ... the Browns get their QB and also get picks at 12 and 22 which puts them in a good position to hit BPA at positions of need (I'm thinking a combination of OT/CB/FS/DL.

    I just put together a mock draft with Browns going Darnold, then taking McGlinchey at 12 and Hurst at 22 ... and would leave their Day 2 picks for depth at LB, CB and even add Michel or Chubb if they want to still add to the RBs.

    Yeah- BUT. 

    1) I doubt we'd give up #4 for just #12 and #22. We don't just want to break even, we have to win the trade BIG for it to be worth our while. (QB premium) If both Barkley and Chubb are there at #4, it's going to take a lot to get the Browns to move that pick. 

    2) The Bills can (probably would, maybe already have- contingent on the qb they want is there at #2) deal directly with the Giants and offer #12, #22, one of their seconds, and their first round pick next year. Way more plausible... 

    3) Our OL expert (Tour) says this isn't the year to take an OT in the first round.

    No, you're right, but if the Giants want Barkley but also want some capital for it, they could make this happen if Cleveland is willing. Think about this, and I know it's a lot of assumptions ...

    1.1: Browns - Sam Darnold, QB USC
    1.2: Bills - Josh Allen, QB Wyoming
    1.3: Jets - Baker Mayfield, QB Oklahoma
    1.4: Giants - Saquan Barkley, RB Penn State
    1.5: Browns - Bradley Chubb, DE NC State

    That's something that COULD happen, IF the Browns decided to play the part in this 3 way trade with the Bills and Giants.

    Buffalo sends #12, #22, #53 and a 2019 #1 to Giants for #2
    Giants send #12, #22 and #53 to Cleveland for #4
    Cleveland sends #12 and #53 to Denver for #5

    Giants get their "guy" in Saquan at #4 and add a 2019 1st
    Browns get their "guy" in Chubb and get #22 out of it. Or shoot, if Denver holds them hostage for #5, you give up #12 and #22 to go to #5 and still add #53

    I guess that's a lot of chaos and things to fall into place. Maybe the Browns do it and are happy turning #4 into #12, #22 and #53. Or maybe they do it after having a talk with Denver and saying "if this trade goes down, we'll do this trade with you"

    If there were a draft for all this to go down, this might be the one.

    Considering this year fully introduced the new "trade mid-round picks for pro-bowl veterans" strategy ... maybe this is the first draft of the "multiple team trade" where everyone gets what they want at the expense of a desperate team. In this case, Buffalo is the desperate team, giving up #12 ... #22 ... #53 and a 2019 1st.
    Browns get their guy Chubb at #5 and add #53 for dropping 1 spot
    Giants get their guy Barkley at #4 and add a 2019 1st for dropping 2 spots
    Broncos get #12 and #22 where they can replenish depth for #5

    Why did the Browns take Peppers last draft then.......?

    Because he played goalie in youth soccer.

    It totally befuddled me why we took a guy who liked to play up closer to the LOS, and played him in punt formation all the time.  Of course Dorsey has attacked the secondary vigorously so far.

    Williams has said all along that Peppers at FS lined up 20-yd deep was his best use of available personnel.

     I'd be shocked if Gettleman or Dorsey trade out till Draft Day..just as.. Da Bears 

    Bingo... I agree with the part I could decode.

    @lionofbuddha said:

    Bucky Brooks, Daniel Jeremiah.. guys that have insider information before things happen and a right more times than not

    You forgot Adam Schefter...

    As for their accuracy... It may approach more right than wrong (although I doubt it) only if you include all the times they get "a call" an hour or less before the official announcement of a deal. That period when the paperwork leaves the tight circle of those in the know at a franchise or two and arrives at the league office... where "league sources" get their eyes on it.

    To me this is the most logical multi-team trade possibility involving the Browns.  However, the Browns can make out similarly by coordinating the trades themselves as follows:

    Trade #1: Browns send 1.4 to the Bills for #s 12, 22, 53 and #1 2019

    Trade #2: Browns send #s 12, 22 and 64 to the Colts for #6

    The Colts are looking for more picks in this draft and the Browns deliver 3 of them.

    The Browns move up from 64 to 53, add a 1st next year, and get their guy at 6.

    Evaluate these....even though we know that the guys conducting these drafts are no longer here. 

    Four guys still around from all these:   Kirksey/Bitonio/Orchard/Duke    (Is Telfer still here...I thought he was out).

    Dorsey will not be with the Browns in 3 - 5. years. Dorsey is merely a kotex to absorb Hue's messes, get blamed and then fired.  COFFEE anyone? Hey Dorkey.....I take Bailey's in mine.
