Absolutely and it ONLY works if you draft your franchise QB in year 3. If they don't by the time you draft him and get him up to speed the talent you have are coming off of their rookie contracts. I think this necessitates drafting a QB this season and if they miss it will set the team back 5 more years. Even if they wanted a QB next season they should've drafted talent at 12. I wanted Foster at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we traded up a couple spots from late in the 1st round with our 2nd pick tonget johnny.

I swear, 1\2 the guys on this board- not just me, could have done a better job drafting in the first round than the guys who get paid to make those decisions. Johnny & Brady were on my hell no list. I'll spare you the barfing, but if you want me to- I'll post the guys we COULD have had with the first round pick we gave Dallas the next year for drafting stiff Quinn. Look it up Tour- hoorta mantra- "it's a sin if we draft Quinn". Ditto, if you want to look up my comments about Richardson, BTW the pre draft scouting reports had "hands of stone" Braylon pretty well pegged too. Now, ahem... have the anal-litics guys paid any attention to reports guys like Coleman (he of a critical drop today) and Schmuck Ricardo Lewis who can run 4.3s and can't catch the damn ball when it hits them between the 8 & the X? Looks like NOT!!!!! Note to Paul DePodesta: If track speed was all that mattered, Renado Nehemiah would be in the HOF. Shove those anal-litics up your butt. like Wentz isn't a top 20 qb, kindly stuff that remark too- sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you can't hit on those picks gumby- it's worthless. So with 20\20 hindsight, what would you give up right now for Wentz? Assuming the Eagles would even trade? The #1 overall in 2018 and how much else? ghoolie went ballistic when we gifted the Falcons Julio Jones- and turns out- he was right. You get those high picks for a reason- use 'em for a change.

stillmotion Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Trading down is usually horses$it, it doesn't work out more than it works out, especially for us. Thankfully, I'm sure Jimmy would rather pay for a #15 draft pick than a #2 draft pick. So at least i'm happy trading down saved him money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is trading up into a high pick always costs alot. The risk is "very" high. Trading up a couple spots late in the 1st round is usually finalized with a promise of a trip to the titty clibs nextbtime they're in town.

I only "entertain" the idea of trading down when the bpa's are at positions we're flush at AND (most importantly) some team is willing to part with major capital. With a team so deficient at so many positions, staying put is the way to. I know people will say trading down alot gives u future capital to trade up.

Until then... Everyone points to Wentz, but the cold fact is that to turn down the Philly deal we had to believe strongly that he was worth two 1sts. And evidence of belief at that level by those here at the time is severely lacking. Skimming thru two Camp threads turns up: tia as the big, early backer.

Nero Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 For me, having a depleted team and trading down makes a lot of sense. You have holes everywhere, trading down provides you more picks, more chances to fix holes, so you trade down. A team is made by A, B, C, D level players. Your best shot is to try to have many Bs, As in key positions and Cs and Ds in less important places, or surrounded by As, so you minimize their negative impact. The Browns, entering 2016 draft, were full of C and D players. If you trade down and get two B players instead of the A player that your trade partner is doing, it's good business. And remember that sometimes A level players are also found later in the draft. I prefer having 6 Bs and 5 Cs in a unit than 3 As, 5Cs and 3 Ds. Now, that works when you have Cs and Ds, a depleted team, like I said in my first sentence. Now, it's up for the FO to try to get A level players, as they should by now consider that they have a decent player core. They might use their draft picks, or even choose some of their 'tradedown' picks in order to trade up. Here is where lists enter to play. If they do a trade down in this draft I will be OK as long as they still can get their next player in the list (whoever it is) in the new draft position.

The Gipper Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 As Nero says....the trade down is to get more valuable assets that will allow you to fill more holes on your team than just the one you would get with having just the one pick. But there are key elements here: in trading down and getting these more picks....you have to choose wisely. And to a great extent....this team has chosen stupidly. Justin Gilbert as just a start. Also.....one of the problems with this management is that they are trading down to fill holes that THEY have created, but just letting some decent players walk. Sign The Scwartz and you don't have a hole at RT. Sign Gipson and you don't have a hole at FA Bring Barnidge back....and you don't have a huge hole at TE. How any other examples do we see where this FO created the hole they are trying to fill just because the guy there was not "our guy"...or because he was a little older....or because a guy wanted a bit more money than you were apparently willing to pay? Sorry.....but to a great extent this FO is just trying to play Whack a Mole....to fill holes that have cropped up due to their ridiculous policies.

Yes, the reason for the team to be depleted was the FO itself. Only way I can explain this, though I don't comoletely agree with the approach, is to create a group that grew together and lost together, in order to add the FA pieces once the core of the group was settled. Free Agents coming to losing teams like Browns many times don't contribute a bit, as they take it as an early retirement. It happens or has happened with many teams, rookies are eager to prove themselves and earn a big contract more than veteran players who probably have left their best game days behind. It's a radical approach but has some sense. Winning teams wouldn't need to do it because they don't have many years of losing in their backs, so it makes sense that the Browns tried this approach.

I thought his pick was from an extra that we got from some previous trade down or deal. But in any case, if we sat with our natural pick in the 1st round and took bosa, ogbah wouldnt even have been remotely considered.
