Trade in the works?

I think we can get a starting caliber G and/or C in the middle rounds.. I don't see another Cox.

Plus, passing on Cox would almost certainly mean he'd be an Eagle at 15

No chance the Browns give up that much to move up just 8 spots in the middle of the first round.

No...but make it McClellan and Zeitler and I may be on board...although I'm not as in love with Zeitler as some folks. I'd be more inclined to take the best DE still available at #37 and then take best G/C available at #45 unless a high caliber CB or Harrison Smith were available.

One or the other, sure. But not both.

A man can dream...

I really would like to have a pass rush that completely bails out the rest of the defense like the Giants, though.

And it would be even better since our DBs are actually looking to be pretty good, unlike in NY.

How about Mercilus at 22, Zeitler 37 Orson Charles 45. The rest of your mock I'm perfect with.

Man, if the Cowboys were to trade down to #22 and then take Coby Fleener, we'd be able to hear Bill Jones' head swell all over the country. That's what he mentioned as his dream mock on Talkin' Cowboys this week.

[Hoofbite]

I'm gonna call bogus on that trade rumor........that or sheer idiocy in Cleveland.

Looking at the chart of charts.

They'd essentially be giving up an excess amount equal to Dallas 2nd round pick in order to move up 8 spots.

Hmm. Almost went that direction. I kinda like that one better.

I really want Fleener for this offense. Add Fleener and Broyles, and this offense will be crazy good.

4 picks to move up 8 spots? Highlyyyy unlikely.

That's about right.
But we all know the Browns have so few needs that they would overpay by a 2nd rounder for the 14th pick.

We have some gullible partners in crime around here sometimes.

Look for the Browns to take Weeden early.
