LogicIsForSquares Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 It could just be due diligence. Making sure you see what is out there to cover your bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Adam Schefter & MKC are tweeting that the Browns are currently in trade down talks with one team. I doubt that they have limited their talks to just one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb12711 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm not sure if shopping around the #2 pick is some clear-cut sign they don't want to draft a QB like people are saying it is. I think it's due diligence to look at all your options even if you are 99.9% sure of the direction you are going. I just get this God awful gut feeling we'll trade back, take X player instead of Goff or Wentz, watch RG3 explode 5 games into the season (let's make it fun, I'll go with torn biceps), and cry into our beers as both those guys wind up as franchise talents.

Unsympathetic Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Seeing what the market is within the top 8... is VERY different than "accepting an offer". Clearly they want to get a full picture of what's available before making the decision to accept or not. This is the same as being on Shark Tank and wanting to hear all the offers before countering any one of them. Doesn't mean you don't want the first one.. it just means you want to hear everything. It's something that a competent FO would do. I realize we reflexively see every Browns FO action as "How Much Does This New Thing Suck" ... but they actually have good ideas this time.

Canton Dawg Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I doubt that they have limited their talks to just one team.Agree, but rumor has it that they cast a line for all teams picking in the top 10 waiting for a bite.

Clearly they want to get a full picture of what's available before making the decision to accept or not. Schefter had actual glee in his voice when he announced on NFL Live today that we were not close to a trade. Bit of a rivalry there with LaCanfora I'd say... Agree, but rumor has it that they cast a line for all teams picking in the top 10 waiting for a bite. All it takes is one sucker. But it's better to have two... Word is there is interest from SF and Philly.... even the Jets at 20. Both Philly and NYJ have eyes for Wentz. SF supposedly more for Goff.

That Twitter account is garbage. But no, I wouldn't take that. I'd want a first and second this year at the very least, along with a first next year. If Wentz is gone and we can move back, still pick before 10 and pick up an extra second, we'd be able to likely come away with a very good LB, a very good WR and/or a very good DL without first three picks. I wouldn't hate moving back to #7, getting SF's second, then getting, say, Jack, Nkemdiche and Smith. Or, if injury worries you, getting Buckner, Spence, and Boyd. And, of course, that opens the door to getting Lynch at #32. Not my first choice for QB, but I'd rather Lynch at #32 than Goff at #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren15 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Doug Moore @DMooreNFL 1h1 hour ago #Browns seem very likely to trade the #2 pick in the #NFLDraft, from what I've heard.

darren15 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Last night, Alex Marvez reports that if the Browns and Eagles reach an agreement on a trade that would send the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia, it would include the two teams swapping first-round picks in 2016 with the Eagles sending the Browns two third-round picks this year, their first-rounder in 2017 and their 2017 third-round selection. However, Schefter mentioned during the interview that he believes the price to move up to No. 2 would be less than that. Eagles would like the trade completed today. Schefter says we may take less ........here we go, are we going to be screwed again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Tim- the problem is that the Eagles do not have a 2nd rounder anymore to give us. Already traded away. So take the two thirds and turn them into a 2nd... Should reach the 50th overall or so... The real trick Sashi faces is convincing trades partners to use the traditional chart when we are moving down: And our Director of Football Research's chart when we are trading up... Here's his Harvard paper... it's been posted here before. https://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/how-to-value-nfl-draft-picks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If target(s) gone we have a another target further down and try to trade to that level on draft day. And I'd rather have Fuller or Doctson rather than Treadwell if we are shooting WR as our first (which I doubt anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
