NFL Exec says THIS scenario where Browns trade out of one isn’t crazy

LionOfBuddha

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

Gronk can't get through a season. He'd retire and go into acting

So the Patriots want Darnold and we are choosing among all the rest left by the NY teams?

No way. Dorsey will get run out of town

The Patriots only want Darnold. We seem to be high on 3. Darnold, Allen, and Mayfield. Getting THAT haul, and still getting our 1A or 1B may be worth it.

I'd jump on that deal IF the Patriots were desperate enough to do it......but Tom Brady is getting old!

This is similar to the Dallas - Minnesota deal for Herschel Walker except they're going for an unproven rookie. I'd guess it will never happen.

Gronks not going anywhere.. Belicheck's not REACHing anywhere near any of these QB's..If ya look at the amount of key roster positions the Pats have lost, adding in a ageing HOF QB. Bill is simply setting up for all these non-QB position talents to tumble down the board. Now for my mad Hoodie look..before the next media turd falls from the sky

MHO? Pound Salt Bill- you too Colin. That 2019 first will be in the low 20s. We've done the quantity for quality exchange too often, and it's bit us squarely in the azz. I'll let you guys look up the sort of garbage we wound up with trading out of Julio Jones or Carson Wentz.

Didn't their QB just throw for 500 yards in the Super Bowl?

Ours just went 0-16 ... how bout We fall in love with Sam Darnold?

Yes nearing the end of his GOAT NFL QB career.

Now you don't think the Patriots would be fibbing to us.....they wouldn't do that right?

In that scenario,

Is the QB you WANT at #4 or the QB THATS LEFT at #4 ?

Or does any team grab Chubb, Fitzpatrick, Barkley or other really good players out there?

If for example the BROWNS take #1 Chubb then at most two quarterbacks might be gone before #4. I'm sure 98.6% of America thinks the BROWNS will pick a quarterback first.

Going to be a long 2-1/2 weeks...

Remember when Ditka traded the whole Saints draft for Ricky Williams?

This is on that level of crazy.

How about 4 months of this stuff!!

Ricky wearing the wedding dress and Herschel paving the way for Dallas to regain that "America's Team" crap......oh yeah should be an interesting draft!

Orion

As crazy as this deal sounds....it is indicative of what teams are willing to do to get 'that' QB...the one that will give them a chance to be super bowl contenders / winners. (wouldn't it be nice for Darnold to sit behind Brady for a year or two).

Dorsey, DO NOT be bamboozled like your predecessors. Pick the best QB at #1 and best non QB at #4 and you're on your way toward winning the draft. - DO NOT help the Patriots. Help YOURSELF!
