Here come the Bills...

The Browns Board
32 17 1.1k
  • The Bills just traded with the Bengals up to #12 by giving away Cordy Glenn and number #21. If you go by the trade value chart, that would be #12, 22, and 53 to get up to #4 almost exactly. If you are Dorsey, Would you consider this deal? The Bills are trading up and there is no doubt about it. Someone in the top 4 are getting those picks because they are going to offer them and I can see both NY and IND biting. If they called today, would you take that deal? That would give the Browns picks: #1, #12, #33, #35, #53 and #64...Basically owning the second round. However, it is for sure missing out on one of Barkley, Chubb, or Fitzpatrick and essentially making them take a qb with the first overall pick. 

    Here is a random mock draft to give an idea of who is in that range:

    We've already picked up a "bridge QB", WR, & FS. See who we have signed in FA & then look at what's available with all those picks. That would give the Browns picks: #1, #12, #33, #35, #53 and #64 (you forgot#22). That's #1 for our QB, then 6 more in the top 2 rounds. WOW!

    Have the Browns & Bills already talked about & possibly arranged this/ We'll see.

    I don't think your numbers are right.    

    Per my view of the traditional  draft value chart:    #4   is 1800 points.     #12 is 1200 pts, and #22 is 780 points.    Bills would give up 1980 for 1800 pts right there.   So...now way they throw in #53  which is a 370 point commodity.  That would be us getting 2350 for 1800 pts.   

    Now, maybe the Browns should demand that....but those numbers do not come out the way you say.

    A top tier QB is involved with the #4 pick , so SCREW the damned value chart! It's called supply & demand. The Browns are in control here.

    FS?  I thought Randall was a CB?   Or is he one of those hybrid guys.   And...as I said...those number don't add up.

    OK,  I hear you..   Bills want to move up to #4....pay the premium in terms of value on return.   No problem with that.....just saying that Bills would point it out....and argue about it...and want something back.   Called Negotiations. 

  • Not interested in trading down.

    Quality gentlemen, not quantity. 

    A hour after the Draft starts the Browns can have their favorite QB and Fitzpatrick, Chubb or hell, Barkley.

    Don't overthink it.

    Sure.

  • We don't need no #22. We can sign him up for peanuts and he'll return a new man. 😁

    Oh, I don't disagree with you. It's just a very interesting scenario with MANY possibilities. While I have tons of respect for Dorsey & staff, I don't envy the situation(s) they face.

    I think all bids well for our Browns. This Spring is NOT going to be boring.

  • Given our recent trade down history in the first round. I would pass on the Bills offer, make them make that trade with the Colts or Giants. Then it improves the players we get to pick from at #4.

    One of the many options, and you are correct. Presuming we go QB at #1, if the Bills or another Team takes QB at 2 and/or 3, the talent pool at #4 (and beyond) just keeps getting stronger.

    This could get interesting.

    Mike

  • At 4 we are getting a REAL good player (in theory).  We have multiple picks in round 2 for adding quantity.   Every year there's a team or two that DEMONSTRATES how important the QB position is.  - Ironic how the Bills want nothing more to do with Tierod (I'm a car guy) and we WANT him to be our starter.  And yet BOTH the Bills and Browns have the same purpose which is to draft the long term QB high in round 1.

    Give 'em Corey Coleman! Hell, we'd replace him TWICE with all those picks.  😉

    I was using PFR value chart. I think the Jimmy Johnson chart is a little outdated. There is more value in the higher picks these days.

  • I am hoping Bills trade with Giants.......they take a QB after we do then Colts decide Barkley or Chubb and we draft the one they don't ...we then have either an elite RB or elite edge rushers at both ends  ..... we then have Garrett, Chubb and Ogbah rushing the passer ......

    Mike

    That is because....when pressed, most talent evaluators say that none of these QBs should truly be taken in the first 10 picks.....but everyone knows the importance of a QB....so you could see at least 3 of them taken likely.

    OK.    I see that now.     21, 22 and give us back #65  would do it.    Not that they should do it.

    Like I said.....it all depends on what they do in FA.

    Do they pick up another 1 or 2 DBs, making the pick of Minkah superfluous?   Presuming both Chubb and Barkley go  2,3.  

    No...wait...that still is not right.  We are talking a trade of both #12 and 22.....not 21 and 22.  So 12 is 1200 pts...in the PFR system...and 22 is 780 pts.

    So my initial math is correct...... 12 and 22 would be 1980 pts in trade for our  1800 pt. #4 pick.  

    Could that deal be workable?
