If we trade down, who do you want?

Assuming we trade down from 5 to a later first round pick, who do you want to pick? For me its Rey, he's the stud we need on D.

Beanie Wells. Hands down. or Cay Matthews.

Maualuga of course

I would prefer Tyson Jackson at #5 than Rey Rey. I just tend to agree that he is NOT a 3 down player...and you don't take a 2 down guy at #5.

Still, if the Browns think he can cover well enough to play 3 downs...go for it.

If we can't trade down and that's the guy we really want why not take him with the 5th pick? Sure many will consider it a reach, but he's not going to be there in the 2nd round and if there's no other player we like at 5 why not just take him? It just doesn't make sense to me to take a player in the top 5 you don't want just because every draft guru has him rated as top 5 talent, or conversely not taking a player just because they aren't rated that high.

he would then demand number 5 money. it would be an awful lot for a middle linebacker.

I will say the same.

BTW, that picture of Maualuga you have there is great.

Because money tends to magnify character issues. And I just don't think he's the best player available at #5.

Might not even be the best (or second best) LB from USC this year.

1. Moreno 2. Jenkins

Depends how far you are talking. If it's to Buffalo at 11 or Denver at 12 you may still be able to grab Brian Orakpo or B.J. Raji, or Maualuga or anyone else we've talked about the Browns drafting.

That's why a trade down is ideal....Almost too good to be true.

If it's farther down then Maybe Ayers, Cushing or Hood.

Depends on how far down, Rey or C3 depending on who is left at that spot.
