LogicIsForSquares Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I like this move. They could draft a guy later and go into the season with Hyde, Duke, and mid round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading out/down is possible, too, but this team really needs to add some blue-chip talent, so I'd prefer they stay put or at least in the top 10. That said, my guess, pick 4 is going to become extremely valuable because picks 1, 2, and 3 could very well go QB. Everyone talks about 4 QBs being first-rounders (Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold, Allen). With a run on QB, that's going to leave just 1 top-tier QB left, we could have a bidding war for that #4 pick. Isn't Carlos Hyde a very similar back to Crowell?

jiggins7919 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I like this move, and it's smart and sensible. Now, as far as the draft goes, I have this terrible feeling that it's not going to go like ANYBODY thinks. I have these fears that we're going to get cute and screw it all up. Forgive me for my paranoia, but it's not paranoia if it always happens. In fact, I'd literally bet money that we're trading at least one of our first rounders. And I'm already mad about it.

A Hyde, Michel, Duke rotation would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Why be mad about it, that #4 pick is going to be worth a shitload to somebody and if they're willing to overpay why not move back a little. That's smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's smart. Fair point. Let me clarify. "I'm already mad about moving too far back and missing out on the best players of the draft." If we trade back, but not TOO far, I can live with it. Oh, and if we trade back without drafting our QB first, I'll literally go insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a completely different front office now, so I wouldn't expect the #1 pick to be traded. That #4 pick is going to be nearly as valuable as the #1 pick because it is likely their will be a run on QBs, leaving just 1 top-tier QB of the 4 when pick 4 rolls around. Possible teams that would want to pick a QB: Dolphins at 11, Redskins at 13, Cardinals at 15, Chargers at 17, Bills at 21. If it's the Bills, they will have to give a boatload up to the Browns to move up that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domcucch1994 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Great pickup! We basically get a better version of Crowell. Now we can go QB #1, BPA #4, or trade with Buffalo and get picks #12 and #22. I'd like to see us take a DB and an OL if we do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 "I hear a trade a-comin, rollin round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when"... but we're goin to the playoffs, that is plain to see.... and when we start the season. opponents will be in misery...... "sigh". great moves - this one surprised me. again. Hyde can slam a red zone td through the middle. The Browns fo knows Ohio State has a football team !!!

tiamat63 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Initially I wasn't for Hyde, then saw he missed only two games in the last 2 years. All on board bringing our Bucks home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigalow80 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I wouldn't count on the bills waiting until #4. I think they are going up to #2 or #3 with the NYG or Colts to ensure they get who they want. Especially if the Giants take Barkley at #2, i think it is done deal. If that is the case, then the bills get the second best qb (or "their guy") and don't have to worry. IMOP, if the BIlls offered the giants or colts #12, 22, 53 they would take it in a heart beat. Each team needs so much help and then they would be able to address those issues. This makes #4 very interesting. I'm not sure it will hold as much value as you might think. At this point in the draft, teams know the browns aren't taking a qb and with the Jets signing both McCown and Bridgewater, i'm not sure they are going to take a round 1 qb either; Unless someone falls to them. In addition, it would not surprise me if the broncos wait on a qb as well with the signing of Keenum and address the offensive line. Whom else in the draft NEEDS a qb? Miami, AZ, NO, CIN, NYG, LAC all could draft a qb because their qbs are getting older but they don't necessarily need to take one in the first round. In this scenario I could see the first few picks looking like this: 1) Browns: Darnold 2) Bills: Rosen 3.) Colts: Chubb 4.) Browns: Fitzpatrick 5.) Jets: Barkley 6.) Broncos: Nelson 7.) TB: James 8:) Bears: Ward 9:) 49ers: Tremaine Edwards 10.) AZ with a trade-up: Allen 11.) Miami: Mayfield 12.) Giants: Connor Williams What will be interesting is what the browns would do at #4 if Chubb, Barkley and Fitzpatrick are on the board? I went with Fitzpatrick because with the signing of Hyde, I think they wait until the second round to take a rb. Plus, Fitzpatrick offers such versatility in the backfield, that he can play wherever. I believe Chubb would be the pick if he is sitting there, however. Garrett on one side and chubb on the other...Have fun Andy, Ben and Joe!
